That death-threat has hung over GOP districts and states for 8+ years now and has enslaved and radicalized their party. If and when it clearly goes away the world will be a much better, safer place for all of us.

Plus everyone should remember–but nobody seems to–that if not for MASSIVE prior gerrymandering, it would have been House Speaker Jeffries from the very beginning and we would be in the middle of impeachment #3.

With the same results as impeachments 1 and 2 thanks to the evenly split Senate. Which are not subject to gerrymandering. ;-(

Really? They have made a Saint out of Ronnie Reagan. Republicans have not changed except for becoming more greedy, selfish and cruel.
