    That may well be, but I still like her stance on this issue.

    Did you like it when Democrats wiped out about 3 Republican seats under her watch?

    Cancun Ted Cruz thinks charging them is a great idea.

    If she did it midterm, at the prompting of an overbearing president, then no, I did not like it.

    Do you think the POTUS giving at speech at Independence Hall in Philly calling his opposition a threat to democracy probably told Democrats in New York they were good to do it?

    Not a big Ted Cruz fan but did you see that Ted was the person that rushed over to Liz Warren to help her up after she fell on the Senate floor?

    It's not going to work. Repubs are going to get wiped out in 2026. But I do hope CA and NY counter Texas with new maps of their own.

    Wow. You really fell for that? Republicans drew the maps in Texas in 2021 too (and 2011 and 2001). They draw districts like that as vote sinks. They are protecting all of the districts around that district by packing every Democrat that they can into that district so that they don't make too many competitive districts.

    I guess you don't understand how gerrymandering works.

    Uhh ... who do you think drew up that legislative map to siphon off parts of San Antonio and Austin into a super blue district?
