Ah, yes. The next “Too much money in politics” scam. Remember when Republicans had a distinct money raising advantage? Coincidentally, Democrats got on their moral high horse and demanded that we take all the filthy money out of politics, in favor of public funding.
The corrupt MSM could not write enough editorials and articles decrying filthy money in politics. Then McCain-Feingold sought to disarm Republicans, and again coincidentally, McCain-Feingold just happen to give Democrats a leg up on political fundraising. Not surprisingly, almost no Democrat ever took that good, clean public campaign funding option.
Then Obama raised nearly $1 billion in 2008, much of it from illegal overseas contributions and laundered as Visa/MasterCard donations. Everyone knew what was happening, yet no one, not the RINOs, nor those moral guardians of righteousness in the MSM said one word. Nor did the corrupt MSM find time to do investigative reporting on the matter on Obama’s illegal fundraising.
Fast-forward and the game Democrats who actually invented gerrymandering have now been edged out by Republicans. And of course we will now hear how morally outraged they are and demand that we need to “somehow” fix gerrymandering. Watch the corrupt newspapers now climb on board creating a sense of immediacy and outrage and demand action.
This is happening right now in my state (Wisconsin). Democrats are quite certain that gerrymandering is the root of all their problems, despite Trump winning the state in 2016. Despite Walker winning the state multiple times. And despite Sen. Ron Johnson winning the state. So all these statewide Republican wins proves that Democrats have been rooked by gerrymandering.
I’m hard pressed to see where they think they might gain a seat.
I don’t see how to endanger Duffy (R-Northwest) without endangering Ron Kind (D-West).
Maybe Ryan could be endangered by connecting some of Milwaukee with some of the Madison area. But, as long as he’s speaker, he’s got a huge fundraising edge.
Gwen Moore’s district is 34% black - That’s close to a majority of Democrats. So splitting that one up could preserve a Democrat seat but make it harder for her (or any black candidate) to win the primary.
