Illinois’ new district boundaries haven’t even been released yet, and were he to run again he’d be the outsider running against an incumbent. Both parties in IL value their incumbents over him (for the Ds it’s nothing personal, for the Rs it’s blood in their eye).
Who the fuck gives money to a critter without a district?
Religion as a cafeteria.
Folks like the Lincoln Project and other never-Trump Republican groups that want to force the party to defend its record. The point wouldn’t be to win, it would be to not simply roll over and let them have the party.
Texas went all-in on incumbent protection, rather than trying to squeeze out more R seats with smaller margins. And the two newly-added districts are split between a Democratic vote sink in Austin that will most likely be represented by Lloyd Doggett and a Houston-area district that is currently R+13 but, I think, rapidly changing. So the Republicans should not net any new seats out of Texas going forward, and continued demographic erosion of their voters should make some of their current districts competitive later in the decade.

It depends on the Trump endorsed candidate, but if she stays, LaHood would be running against her.
A Fox News viewer who only recently spoke to someone on the phone who told him that his microsoft account and extended car warranty had been cancelled?
Sort of. That’s certainly how they’d like it to be talked about so they can say it was “partisan” not “racist.” But really, it was 100% entirely both and you can’t talk about it as just protecting incumbents. For the second decade in a row, they’ve deliberately tried to write out of reality that nearly all of the state’s population growth is coming from Hispanics and non-whites.
If he runs somewhere he’ll have to primary an R incumbent, and/or run as a vote-splitting independent to hand an easy win to the D. He’s not here to please your fantasies.

Why when it helps us win? In case you haven’t noticed, he’s not helping anyone in Virginia.
They’ll just say “What could we do? That’s the precedent! Stare decisis! This proves we’re not partisan hacks!”
And then they’ll summarily execute Roe v. Wade and shrug when accused of hypocrisy. They’ve got the sophistry cocktail already mixed for its lethal injection.
On bad days, I predict more Jan 6ths-possibly civil war. We did it once before…
No, he’s not. But he’s out there making this statement about how “We’ve allowed leaders to reach power selling the false premise that strength comes from degrading others and dehumanizing those that look, act or think differently than we do,”
Well, if he’s gonna complain about people allowing it, then he shouldn’t just allow it by not challenging another Illinois Republican. Put up or shut up.

Two of the 10 are already out (Kinzinger n Gonzalez).
He’s not here to please your fantasies.
Kinzinger’s current district is a stones throw from my own.
The only difference between him and the other Republicans is that he has a problem with violently overthrowing the Government. But in regards to all other policies to include voter suppression and even voter nullification, Kinzinger is on board with his party.
The reason he is not running is that something he supports for others happened to him, gerrymandering. That is Democrats in complete control of the Illinois State Government are screwing Republicans.
The only reason he will be missed is that there is such a low bar for Republicans to be considered other than deplorable. But as Steve Schmidt pointed out about Kinzinger in particular, voted for Trump and said he would do it again, he symbolizes the only unifying theme of the GOP, irrational hatred of Democrats.
I will not miss him.
Again: it’s not my fantasy. It’s his claims. Don’t wanna do anything about the problem, don’t bitch about the problem.
Her district is right over the state line from my summer place. There’s a fuck-ton of MAGAts, Q-loons, and Jan 6 insurrectionists upstate, and I would love to see Stefanik go down in flames.
How’d that work for you traitors in 1864, fuckhead?
Body language, it speaks very loudly. Ya just gotta love it!
