You got proof we are getting to 218? We have been stuck on 200 for 8 hours now.
Redistricting alone will push the GOP over 217. They have known this all along, yet they have been pushing this as some major accomplishment.
My district (GA-06) was redrawn to ensure an easy victory for the GOP. The tradeoff was that GA-07 was redrawn to ensure an easy victory for the Democrats. Both districts were competitive. With a little work, the GOP could have won both. But they took the easy route and conceded GA-07 to the Dems.
Idiots. Lazy pathetic idiots. Republican leaders could care less if the Democrats are in charge. Their biggest fear is to be held accountable for anything. It's easier to complain about Democrats than it is to do anything to correct it. Take Obamacare for example. We still have it. Twelve years later, and Obamacare remains the law of the land. Republicans are worthless. And the voters know it.
