Washington Free Beacon ^ | February 7, 2020 | Graham Piro

Posted on 02/08/2020 3:20:41 AM PST by kevcol

MSNBC anchor Katy Tur on Friday asked if gerrymandering could help break the Republican hold on the U.S. Senate.

"Is gerrymandering something that would help improve the situation? How does that sort of divide promote consensus in the Senate, or even in the House?" Tur asked.

Sure, we could just rearrange state lines so democrats can win. Then when everyone moves we can move them again.

“Journalists” are people who can’t do anything else.

Katy Tur is apparently unaware senators are elected at large in their states.

Virginia may be gerrymandered into West Virginia

He does realize that he complains about the GOP hold on the Senate, then in the next breath proposes something to “improve the consensus” there? Gosh, sounds like there already is a consensus there, just one he doesn’t like. I’ll bet if you asked him, he’d swear he is a good and fair “journalist.” He might even mean it or believe it. These leftists have been fed, and happily swallowed a steady stream of BS propaganda for so long they have lost their grip on reality in many ways.

Katy Tur needs to stay with the daily talking points written by a white liberal elite man... handed out every morning to the bimbos and pretentious men of MSNBC...

Aside from the dumbness of the question, I would like to note the following double standard (the latest of many):

Dems gerrymandering to break Republican majorities = acceptable and the right thing to do.

Republicans gerrymandering to break Dem majorities = corrupt, racist, evil, subversive, abuse of white privilege, etc.

Reminds me of the time when I lived in the Houston area. A hurricane hit the coast just north of Mexico.

A TV reporter stated that it was a good thing that the hurricane hit the American coast since Americans could handle the economic loss better. She then stated that the storm caused a ship to “dock” on the shore. I kid you not.

< obvious >In case you are unsure, it is NOT possible to gerrymander Senate "districts" because in this case each "district" is an entire state. < /obvious >

But if you did want to do this first you'd have to repeal the 17 amendment.

Yes, they should. But they don’t, and neither do our expensively “educated” “elites.”

She was inspired by the crypto liberals
here who whinge on about Senators
being appointed like the old days
of corrupt state party machines

Admitting some of our possessions as
states could change this

For every blue PR there’d be a red Central VA

Gerrymandering would work if you can gerrymander using parts of other states {like WV is trying to do with some VA counties}.

Katy turd is ahead of her own mind. What a genius.

I’ll give her guest credit for smoothly bailing her out on that one. But I’ll bet he was thinking to himself “WTF is she taking about?”.

“Tur does not know the difference between Montana and North Dakota.”

Montana is WEST of ND which, when spelled correctly, looks like this: Manitscolda.
