A guy that picked Paul Ryan as a running mate and who probably has even smaller balls. Probably just upset that he was missing a chance to fleece the country.

Predicto Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 4 hours ago, LadySkinsFan said: Romney announced for the Senate today. R-Money would be fine in the Senate. This is Utah - they ain't electing any Elizabeth Warren's out there. Romney has decorum and isn't a lunatic extremist. That's the most we can ask for from the GOP these days.

The narrative will be something like “well if Mitt is okay with it, it must be okay.” ”It” this week is the POTUS extramarital relationship with Karen MacDougsl. “It” will be some new bull**** every week. Better to have the corpse of Orrin Hatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma There Goes That Man Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 It’s like eating a **** sandwich vs a diarrhea shake. I don’t like the **** sandwich at all. But after so many straight diarrhea shakes you know maybe I do kinda want that **** sandwich back. At least it had bread still not happy about eating it tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Excuses Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Pennsylvania Supreme Court released the new redistricted maps for 2018 today. Completely gets rid of the GOP gerrymander. Right now the Penn House delegation is 13 GOP - 5 Dems, but in the 2018 election it's very possible that it flips 12-6 Dems. It also puts the # of Clinton voting districts in GOP control at 25, which is enough to flip the House if they vote for Dem House candidates.

One of the things I notice that says "gerrymandering", to me, is districts that have complex boundaries. (Because I assume that said complex boundary was deliberately chosen.)

No Excuses Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 The level of gerrymandering that existed in SE Pennsylvania particularly was so explicitly partisan and honestly kind of amusing in it's shamelessness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 What is the actual argument by the PA GOP about the new map? That it isn't gerrymandered enough in their favor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That it isn't gerrymandered enough in their favor? I think that the Legislature alone has the authority to draw the maps. If the Courts new map creates a 12-6 Dem delegation, and the votes dont match that percentage, will the GOP have the same argument to make that the Dems are using now? Either way, the SCOTUS is going to rule on this issue before the next election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the court's map, every one of those decisions appear to have favored the Democrats. https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/20/politics/pennsylvania-map-q-and-a/index.html Based on CNN's reporting, their court has drawn a better map, but it is still partisan.
