Funny, thanks for the link.

I never heard about “CWOF, continued-without-a-finding” before , but assume that it is part of the dual Justice System for the benefit of ‘Rats...

The schools, we have the most 17-26 y/o from all over tarnation messing up our representaion. If we moved the voting day to when those students are on break - like January or the summertime, we might have actual representation. Thats how Scott Brown got in.

Just thinking out load. Imagine the Rats take the House with a margin of 2-3, and they have a dozen of these socialists. They will never be able to pass a bill that would be acceptable to the Senate.Maybe that’s the stalemate we’re heading for. There’s a storm on the horizon, I just haven’t figured out what it’s going to look like yet.

If you look up RINO in the dictionary, you’ll see a picture of Charlie Baker.

“Looks like the white male progressive has been successful. He has replaced himself with the embodiment of his policies.”

perfect insight.

If the old White guys and old White girls who hold Democrat seats in districts with changing demographics want to see their future, they can look at these results. Or south Africa .

You think the libs would touch a black female like that?
Who would they run against her?

Kennedy? Name, yes, money, yes, on the other hand, he’d rather have it handed to him than campaign against her.

Katherine Clark - relatively new, far from a sure bet to oust Pressley.

Stephen Lynch - been around a while - as I recall, he’s the most conservative of the bunch, and that’s not saying much.

New lines wouldn’t be in place until 2022.
Also MA is not that close to losing a seat.

Get this, he’s not had any primary opposition or a GOP opponent since his first election in 1998, dude forgot how to campaign.

This seems to have been about voting out Whitey. There is no ideological difference.

These aren’t Socialists. The Never Trumper RINO Establishment are Socialists. These are the Stalinists of the Stalinists. The guy that was defeated was one of the most hard-core Communist members. This Pressley person is “Let’s Make America Venezuela”, same as NY’s Stalinist Sandy.

That’s when we had high hopes the pro-lifer Ray Flynn might take the seat and MA would elect someone sane. Not to be, and it keeps getting worse.

it’s the same deal in Chicago. The republicans have ceded the office of Mayor to the democrats years ago.

I see this as a warning that a seriously depaved underclass is pervasive in our country. I put my money on the hunch that this district is majority black.

Chicago , Detroit Minneapolis, Gary Indiana and Milwaukee are socialist. Chicago has one republican alderman of 50 seats. Illinois is the highest taxed state and will elect a very left wing democrat on the promise of raising taxes even higher,

Illinois is a mini Venezuela. Illinois once was a republican stronghold wealthy and prosperous.

Those seats have zero chance of flipping republican.My hunch is those districts will pull 80% democrat.

Jeanne Ives got 49% against Bruce Rauner, I find close loses discouraging.

I didn’t know it was that high. Lively probably didn’t even have any money.
