“Is this a favorable sign?”
No question. Political types are generally not the brightest, but they are cunning. They realize a job as a representative comes with power, prestige, and the ability to make huge amounts of money unethically. (Ethics aren’t a problem for most drawn to politics).
So, it would take something serious to force this many rats to abandon the gravy train. Seeing your chances of being re-elected evaporate will do that.
Well there is the possibility that once the GOP takes back Congress, they’ll offer their own RINO Build Back Better plan every bit as stupid as the democrat’s.
But there is a better chance, we’ll be less stupid with the GOP in charge. So yes. Favorable.
In some of these cases, the Democrat who is retiring represents a district that wouldn't elect a Republican under any circumstances.
