Voters are sick of everybody and the least productive congress. If the republicans take over the senate, what is likely to change .

You know, the republican brand has taken damage over the last several years. Cbs polling and Approval Rating is about 20 in the congress. What Republican Leaders and strategists say we need to show we can get things done quickly. How do we appeal to women voters . They know they may do well in races and push back against democratic attacks with female voters, they know there is work to be done and political objectives. They know the electorate is different in 2016. You know, control of the senate changes. In the governors offices, that is where people operate the way it is supposed to.
