Per discussions on warroom

The rino texan legislature had a more favorable, stronger republican vote in it’s redistricting maps.

After the dems left to prevent the vote on it, and after the all show, no go, big talk by everyone from the governor to the republican head of the legisature...

the redistricting maps were redrawn to weaken them in favor republicans so it is more easier for dems to turn them in the future.

With rinos like that, why did they bother to waste all that time?

btw, on warroom, they had said that republicans should have picked up 7 or more seats, not just 5 weak ones.

The NYT butt boy, Barry Soetoro, gerrymandered many states while he was king of the jungle just as the Demons at NYT allowed him to do. He needs to Sierra Tango Foxtrot Uniform.

And how many Demonicrat Texas House members have been arrested, as Gov. Abbott promised he would do?!? More Kabuki Theater by both sides.

The "Kabuki Theater" gives us the five additional seats.

Both sides have benefitted from gerrymandering but the democrats are in deep trouble. The party is listless. Leadership a mess. Losing battle after battle to Trump. No actual platform being implemented… all defense. Voting is getting more strict and now Trump has his eyes on mail in voting. Couple that with his anti illegal immigrant push…. Democrats are seeing a rough future ahead of them. They will make any issue a “threat to democracy”. Chicken little fearmongering is all they have…. And even that is losing its luster.

They can get 10 more seats through redistricting. If the table was reversed, the Dems would get at least 10. There are too many RINOs in the TX legislature. Their R speaker may as well be a Democrat. Abbott comes across as lacking political violence toward Democrats. & Rinos . TX could pick up 10. Watch, they’ll settle for a pickup if 5 or less .

That's my dilemma. The legislation that the people will be voting on is dissolving the commission for just a couple years and at the same time the redistricting is being improved.

Something doesn't jive because the legislature is approving the changes and not the commission.

He didn’t need to. They came back.

Since the all new districts will prolly not vote straight red here in Texas and maybe not in CA should they make the cut, even a few more Rs in Congress is a good thing.

Another nice thing to look forward to ... as the populations of Texas and Florida grow and the population of CA shrinks, the next census will skew thing to Red even more.

” The California legislature is expected to vote Thursday on a newly drawn congressional map”

Then the Commies in California are violating the state constitution.

“The big question for Texas is when Crockett loses her seat, will she dump her acquired ghetto talk, or return to the privileged private school voice.”

She has always been trash. He speech now is her natural cadence and gibberish.

The best thing that can happen for us citizens and our country is to see this lying and disrespectful rag go out of business. They are an enemy to us citizens. wake up people. The Washington post and la times also. stop reading their garbage as truth. Trump has nothing to do with Texas business. And it’s really no one else’s business what they do IN THEIR STATE. so, you fall for the lie you deserve to be their fool.
