All states gerrymandered and still do, the dems do it in california, the dems did it here for years, the dems did it on a national level numerous times...the reps retook control and did their own gerrymandering get over it.

The dems have lost specifically because they lack a platform that consists of ideas. They consistently criticize and offer no solutions similar to what hillary did to rumsfeld today.

You wanna talk shit and talk about failed plans? Then you sure as hell better have a fucking solution otherwise whats the point of opening your mouth?

If the dems would get rid fo the far left faction of their party, or at least quit allowing them to set the agenda they'd do better. If the dems would come to the table with IDEAS, real ideas not related to socialism they'd win more. If they'd realize economically that lower taxes are almost always the best solution they'd dominate. Taxes have been the redherring for the dems for 35 years. You'd think they would agree with reps, vote in a flat tax and take the issue off the table.

The dems are scrambling because they lack organization, unity and message. The reps right now aren't much better and they've discouraged many conservatives like myself. If the dems put together a halfway decent message they'll be in good shape this fall.

When democrats "gerrymandered" more people were voting democrat...now its the same case its just the GOP gerrymandered so severely they can fraud out a majority status with a majority of americans voting for Democrats

Flat Tax is only a decent solution when it's not really a "flat tax" and has all sorts of exceptions for income levels, etc..
