And it’s situations like this of why it’s so important to vote - not just in Presidental elections but in off-years as well.

And I’m so sick of hearing people say it doesn’t matter if I vote, they are all the same. That’s bullshit. It’s important - no matter what political party you belong to - who chairs commitees, because that party’s priority will determine hearings and investigations. Case in point: Benghazi.

This is why Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Soros, and every single rich Democrat in this country needs to empty his coffers for the 2020 statehouse elections.

Swamp every democratic candidate with money, and contest every single legislative district in the country, no matter how Wingnut it is.

SCOTUS has declared that money is speech, and that buying an election is OK. Thus, fire must be fought with fire and it’s a contest of naked power now.

Buy every fucking seat possible and gerrymander the Republicans out of existence, in as many states as possible.

Redistricting didn’t happen until after the 2010 election and GOPs lost House seats in the next election.

Well that’s not very damned Democratic. Republicans can’t survive without foul deeds and trickery.

P.s. why is Woody Allen running GOP campaigns?

Republicans cheating to win, this is only news because the media doesn’t shine big fat spotlights on this nationwide.

In other words, we, the GOP, can only win when we cheat.

Well, isn’t he smug?

But they didn’t lose enough seats to give Democrats a House majority, and that’s the advantage that is currently baked into the cake. That, plus the fact that Democrats are up against a systemic disadvantage anyway because they tend to be highly concentrated into compact urban districts, while Republicans are spread out into less intensely red rural districts.
