You know what amazes me?

With all the trouble the republicans go through to gerrymander a district so that a republican is guaranteed to win, you would think they would run someone who has an IQ above room temperature with the air conditiong on to run for it. They are spending millions on gerrymandering to run idiots to represent them.

it works in both directions. I just don't think they were grooming Marjorie Taylor Greene for the job when they designed her district. Or Lauren Boebert. There has to be team-player republicans in those districts who could at least pass an eigth grade civics test.
