Joy Behar: Democrats Lost Senate Races Due to Gerrymandering
mrcNEWSBUSTERS ^ | November 7, 2018 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 11/08/2018 3:54:56 PM PST by Morgana

Joy Behar frequently puts her ignorance on display but on Wednesday's The View, she went above and beyond her usual lack of knowledge. In discussing the midterm elections with ABC political analyst Matthew Dowd, Behar wore her constitutional scholar mantle to observe that the Democrats lost the Senate races in the midterms the day before due to gerrymandering.

It was such an appalling ignorant observation that even guest Matthew Dowd attempted to correct her as politely as possible as you can see:

DOWD: Democrats won the popular vote last night by 8 million votes. But they lose U.S. Senate races in red areas ---

BEHAR: Because of gerrymandering...

And so that left Dowd with the task of gently correcting Behar although he could be forgiven if he had screamed "IGNORANT DOLT!" at her:

DOWD: It’s not gerrymandering, that’s the Constitution. The districts are gerrymandered but states are part of the Constitution.

Meanwhile, Joy was nodding her head as if she actually understood what Dowd was telling her about something called the Constitution. Perhaps she still needs new Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to translate it for her into the street talk that she more readily understands.

Republicans can fix this easily.... Reduce the number of Senators in each state to one. LOL

This is the funniest thing I’ve heard one of the “prog” retards say this year. Somebody isn’t up on their civics and they’re telling the idiots who wander aimlessly through the vaste daytime TV wasteland how to vote. No wonder the country has gone to hell in a handbasket.

They are ignorant and this proves it. To them the Truth is whatever they want it to be.

Well, what you do is...

You eliminate States with huge liberal population centers?

Did Republican’s do that?

The sad part is that at least half of their audience will actually believe the Joy-less one.

IIRC, she was a school principal before trying stand-up and eventually getting The View gig.

Reckon she mistook her indoctrination for education.

So basically they make all these states, right? then they let conservative, mostly white, people live in the scenic, lightly populated ones, and they force all the oppressed people into Chicago and the coastal states, where they are forced to work on daytime talk shows for empty- headed liberals. But here's the catch: they still only get 2 senators.

She’s an Idiot.
The Left doesn’t care about the truth.. They care about their agenda.

Somebody remind these idiots that are counting the Vote Total that, for instance, there were no republicans on the ballot in California. That’s 8,000,000 votes right there!
