GOP is very close to flipping MT.
GOP already flipped ND, MO and IN and Rick Scott is leading in FL with 99% counted. GOP might end up flipping as many as 5 senate seats.
This is an amazing result. Usually party in power loses seats in both houses during midterms. In 2010 during Obama administration Democrats lost 65 seats in a huge red wave. Typically the party in power loses 5 seats in the senate during midters. Gaining 5 seats in the senate instead of losing 5 seats for the party in power is totally unheard of
