First the GOP holds the house only through gerrymandering.

Secondly, among the GOP House members, only about 30% are hard line tea party folks.

So not only are we governed by the minority. We are governed by the minority of the minority. I wish the press, like Chuck Todd (who apparently doesn't think its his job report the truth) would explain this in greater detail.

We should be controlling all 3 houses. And America would be better off if we did.
