Dana Millbank: “Crazy talk, you say? Maybe so. The prevailing view is that a Republican Senate would only compound Obama’s woes by bottling up confirmations, doubling the number of investigations and chipping away at Obamacare and other legislative achievements.”

“Yet there’s a chance that having an all-Republican Congress would help Obama — and even some White House officials have wondered privately whether a unified Republican Congress would be better than the current environment. Republicans, without Harry Reid to blame, would own Congress — a body that inspires a high level of confidence in just 7 percent of Americans, according to a Gallup survey last month finding Congress at a new low and at the bottom of all institutions tested.”

Rep. Bill Cassidy’s (R) U.S. Senate campaign announced that the candidate’s unmarried 17-year-old daughter is pregnant as she prepares for her senior year at a Baton Rouge high school, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Cassidy said in a statement that his daughter faces “a more challenging future” and that she has his and his wife Laura’s unconditional support. The baby is expected later this summer.

“It took 24 years for Democrats to end the last period of Republican presidential advantage, in which issues and the makeup of the Electoral College helped Republicans win five of six elections, and to start their own behind Bill Clinton,” the New York Times reports.

“By 2016, the Democrats’ own stretch — winning the popular vote in five of the last six elections — will have lasted 24 years. Now, one of the biggest questions in American politics is how close Republicans are to replicating Democrats’ process of rejuvenation and winning the White House again.”

“The most conspicuous evidence suggests they have moved further away since Mitt Romney’s loss in 2012. In its policies and unflattering poll ratings, the Republican Party has grown largely indistinguishable from its feisty Tea Party faction. And that doesn’t take into account demographic trends that favor Democrats.”

Chris McDaniel (R) “is offering $1,000 rewards for voter fraud evidence as he moves to overturn results of the June 24 GOP primary he lost to incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS),” the Jackson Clarion Ledger reports.

“He claims Cochran and others stole the primary through vote buying and other skullduggery.”

Hillary Clinton continued to justify her high-dollar speaking fees, telling ABC News that all of the money she’s made from universities over the past year and a half has been donated to her family’s foundation.

Said Clinton: “All of the fees have been donated to the Clinton Foundation for it to continue its life-changing and life-saving work. So it goes from a foundation at a university to another foundation.”

Bill Scher: “Everyone assumes that Republicans will easily hold the House in November. The dominant storyline among the chattering classes centers instead on the possibility that Republicans could seize control of the Senate from Democrats. But the rapidly escalating immigration face-off between President Barack Obama and House Republicans raises the possibility that Democrats could win back the House — even if Republicans do take the Senate.”

“How is that possible? It’s simple: There are more competitive House races than Senate races in areas with significant Latino populations.”
