Democrats' Sudden Freakout Over Gerrymandering Is Starting to Make Sense...

Texas Democrats have fled the state. They don’t want to give the state legislature a quorum to pass a congressional map that favors Republicans. So, they decided to seek refuge in Illinois, a gerrymandered state in the country. The irony is almost as bad as the MLB moving the All-Star game out of Atlanta in 2021 over Georgia’s voter integrity laws. The game was held in Colorado that year, a state with voter ID laws.

Gerrymandering did not begin under Donald Trump, which seems to ooze from all the whining and shouting from Democrats about the Texas map. The good news is that this isn’t going to become a thing like Wendy Davis’ abortion filibuster. No one cares about this, and the messaging has already cooked Democrats, as even the legacy media thinks they fled. These communication breakdowns happen when you lack a plan, a clear message, or a leader.

As a Jersey native, I lived under the yoke of gerrymandering—look at some of these districts. And Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy even tossed a redistricting threat aimed at Republicans, as if that’s shocking. My man, you can say that. It has been done elsewhere. Both parties do it. What am I missing here, but it's application in the Garden State...

They are seeing that they are about to be going on low Voteage. Their illegal alien voter base is being deported and their gerrymandered district are about to be taken out. They are scared to death they are going to have the votes to steal 2026 and 2028. I sure wish I was a little younger. I’d love to be around when their Civil War shooting starts.

Anyone who knows Texas history knows why the quorum breaking Democrats end up losing these battles. Just read my tagline and it will tell you all you need to know. Texans don't run, they don't surrender, they're patriots.

I set foot in Texas over 49 years ago, when I reported for active duty at Fort Bliss. I've considered myself a naturalized Texan since that day.

Sorry to mention it but a number of well meaning people here said when AOC won at first and then neglected her district’s needs and ignored it due to her national news camera addiction that they thought AOC will humiliatingly lose her seat. Said she was stupid and her prominent front teeth and bulging wild eyes would turn off voters net time.
No such luck. She’s on her way to higher political glories and attracted another Socialist/Communist to raise arms in crowds beside her.

Crockett is 44 and could be VP or President. On every news show “See what Jasmine Crockett had to say about that....”

Born in the US, as AOC. Not Mamdani.
