7. Hmmmm. Golden (ME) is in a predominately red part of rural Maine.

I know, I live here. So, if it helps to hold the seat and can focus on the really important votes, I am OK with this. This is a "sense of the House" type of vote and I am sure that the Democratic majority dispatched this with the appropriate level of legislative care.

The real question here is...how many Republican Reps took a stand for States Right. You know, that cherished principle held by Republicans when they were in the federal minority? Probably not many.

But I think the Democratic wave is going a lot deeper this cycle than in previous ones. Republicans have fucked themselves when they hitched their future to Donald Trump's vision of America. And not too soon for us.

citizens of NYC?
