They did corral us -- that's why the district was so large.

The funniest thing was when Henry Bonilla (R) won the heavily Democrat district that belonged to the DemocRAT Bustamante who ended up in prison. That district was drawn so that a small thin line ran to The Dominion one of the most expensive areas in the US where Bustamante lived. Bustamante portrayed himself as a poor Hispanic that knew their problems but he lived in The Dominion and then went to jail! The District gave Bonilla a chance and elected him everytime afterward. Now Bonilla is in a more Republican friendly area with the redistricting.

Yeah, I've seen maps that show just how creative the Texas Dims can be when they are in charge of redistricting. These are the same ones who have fought Republicans tooth and nail, fleeing the state twice, just to avoid a fair redistricting.
