Well, if the GOP controls the Senate then a lot changes

I will gladly trade House control for Senate control for the next 4 years.

Will the GOP get the Senate? Who knows. But it appears Hogan running for Senate considerably increased the chances of that happening. GOP needs 2. While WV is surely one, I could see Dems winning the 7 seats they knew would be tough races (MI, PA, WI, AZ, MT, NV, OH). MD was not supposed to be a tough race. If Hogan wins, then the 7 tough races become more about the size of GOP hold on the Senate. Even 2 of the 7 would be huge. Then even a loss in FL or TX (still big longshots for Dems).

Hogan's entrance really changed things for the GOP.
