The resistance is the enemy. If they ramp this up, so will we. Clinton will never be president.
Redistricting will be a hard way for them to get anywhere. They may recoup some areas which are, admittedly, unfairly gerrymandered - but if handled on a large scale, methinks we’ll find more Left-leaning over-represented areas. An understandable fight, but not with significant gains.
Hillary was not “hand picked”. She was relentless, conniving, and inevitable (as candidate). Since then she’s proven herself a whining twit, still pulling strings when she can but generally coming across as a screeching harpy licking her wounds. I’m reminded of the end of some movie (name alas escapes me) where a king, relegated to a medieval makeshift wheelchair, thrashes about screaming at subjects who simply wander off in rejection of his power.
And while Obama is still pulling his strings and meddling accordingly, methinks he too has largely burned out his influence, having had 8 years to “transform America” with a compliant Congress, and while not entirely unsuccessful generally proved himself little more than an eloquent reader of teleprompters.
So yeah, keep an eye on attempts to re-arrange districting. Thing is, the difference is mostly urban/rural divisions making a Leftist archipelago in a sea of conservatism. Attempts to re-arrange divisions in the Left’s favor will be quite gratuitous and likely struck down; I don’t mind a fair division of districts among natural social or geographic boundaries, but trying to bend them to the Democrats’ will is a well-understood and well-countered losing tactic (so long as the Right pays attention).
