Ignoring the "****" bit, the Tea Party domestic platform is pretty much in diametric opposition to my own opinions so, you know, that's a good enough reason for me to not support them.

2022, probably. The GOP did a good job of redistricting and it'll take another census to undo that.

Right, because they will gerrymander themselves right out of office the next time. For the challenge.

But just maybe, possibly, the Democrats will get a couple of more majorities in the State legislatures. Then they can gerrymander themselves into office! Smiley: nod

Virginia does have some screwy election laws, but he could still win the general election I"m fairly certain. Unless he declines to try.

Huh? I was saying that 2020-2022 would represent the next redistricting opportunity to undo the Republican gerrymandering. Not that it would be easy to have state legislatures at that point who were Democratic (or at least heavily enough so to have influence) or the GOP would willingly undo it themselves. You just anxious to score points this morning?

I'm still upset about 2010. The guy destroys the best chance for real change in the country in 50 years without accomplishing anything. I mean he was punished by being made Mayor of Chicago, but sometimes it just doesn't seem like enough.

Cantor won't run a write-in campaign according to anonymous sources close to him, liberal media reports.

He's also stepping down as House Majority Leader in July so I guess he's just calling it quits for now.

What a mess for those buffoons. You had a tenuous handle on the absolute nut job wing with Cantor there to translate Boehner into WhackJob. What happens now? McCarthy does that? He's a weak whip by all accounts, the GOP never has any ******* idea what their internal vote count is. Lord Empty Suit of the Antelope Valley isn't really who you want working as Majority Leader.

Brat is apparently afraid to say anything in any interview regarding policy. When called on it, he whined about being asked questions about issues when he is still in celebratory mode. Smiley: laugh

If they're smart, they might try to lessen the polarization of the districts a bit to dull the chances that the Tea Party will get nominated and promptly lose the wider elections. Then again, they're politicians and I don't have much faith in those.

"Beginning of the rise"? What was the last four-odd years?

Anyway, I'm all sorts of terrified watching the GOP destroy their chances of winning a presidential election any time soon.

That wouldn't work.

(A) You have a strong red district. Republican voters choose Tea Party guy in primary. Tea Party guy beats Democrat in general since district is mainly red.

(B) You have a moderate red district. Republican primary voters choose Tea Party guy since primary voters tend to be more ideological. Democrat beats Tea Party guy due to moderate general electorate being turned off by Tea Party stances.

Both have a Tea Party guy getting nominated but only (A) has an extra GOP vote in Congress. If the GOP wants to diminish the influence of the Tea Party, they have to do it in the primaries. In fact, the narrative this primary season was how the establishment GOP was taming the Tea Party with incumbents fighting off new primary challengers but that seems to have been derailed between Cantor and the Mississippi senate primary.
