Josh Marshall wrote on Friday about a major court decision out of Wisconsin that could have a significant impact on the makeup of that state’s legislature, famous in recent years for being gerrymandered in favor of Republicans to an almost comic degree.
With the House as closely divided as it is, picking up just a few seats here, a few seats there could give Dems a solid majority. Also GOTV efforts at every local level.
And fighting for every seat forces the GOP to fight and spend. Money they might not have.
Apparently, money they DO NOT have.
Hmm, I wonder what happened since 2016. Just where could all the money have gone? Take the money and run get in the golf cart!
It seems like a lot of things having to do with redistricting get done in backrooms with few people utilizing too much data. It becomes manipulation, not representation.
Of course, that makes it nice for Republican politicians. They don’t have to actually do anything. Just complain about nobody doing it.
The turds are giving their money to the grifter and the billionaires are sitting on their wallets right now as they watch the economy start to improve. Ronna gonna have some shit to deal with.
And of course, she’s getting all the blame for the money drying up, rather than anyone willing to point the finger at the gremlin actively tearing the engine apart in front of everyone.
Although that might actually be true this time, as always, watch what they do, not what they say.
She deserves everything that’s coming to her. She was done the minute she allowed “Romney” to disappear.
His name is Snagglepuss and you’re going to be seeing a lot more of him soon
Darn shame, isn’t it!
Exit: Stage Far Right!
They call dark-money dark-money for a reason.
And claiming they don’t have enough money to defend America from the sinister forces of egalitarian democracy is a marketing strategy when appealing to fascists.
Turns out when you keep blowing you cash on keeping Trump out of jail, you don’t have much of it left for elections.
Which other state GOP besides MI is in financial embarrassment?
And it will be interesting to see to what effect overturning Dobbs, and the Republicans in states like OH, TX, and elsewhere that have gone on to death or deliver rampages? I do believe that 2024 may be quite a surprise to to the elephants in the delivery room.
Maybe we can get Billy Mack, a detective down in Texas, on the case? He knows just what the facts is.
Speaking of Wisconsin (also posted elsewhere)
You know I really wouldn’t be surprised if the Democrats rode a blue wave of reality into the majority next fall. America just had a good side-by-side demonstration of the governance abilities of the respective parties with identical majorities. Oh yeah, how is your 401 K BTW?
