“Let the redistricting begin!”
Elections matter. Republican state legislatures should redistrict as they see fit. The democrats will be screaming for impartial panels to come to consensus on redistricting. Republicans! Don’t fall for one of the country’s oldest tricks.
O.K., I like the result, but really which is/was more “dramatic”, the Democrat’s majority in 60 houses within the states legislatures, over the GOPs 36, a Dim margin of 24, or the new GOP advantage in 56 of those houses over the Dims advantage in 40 - a GOP margin of 16 (1/3 less than the Dim’s margin had been).
I am not trying to rain on the parade, but it is not particularly good to feel a whole lot better than is actually warranted. The GOP must not get comfortable and waste this “advantage”; it must work vigorously to add to it in the next round, not give back some.
I hope the Republicans don’t turn into quivvering mounds of jello and not do all the things they’ve been threatening to do. I’m pretty sure they know they will hear a huge outcry if they do.
Trent Lott, Bob Dole and in-office RINOS want business as usual. McConnell was saying all the right things today. I hope Rand Paul’s win in his own state got his attention.
So - I'm hoping these people don't lose their GRIT!
Enjoyed seeing you. I'm heading to bed. Night.
Got stomped in VA elections as well.
