Braun has zero spine and will do whatever Trump and Vance demand of him. Another nail in the coffin of our democratic republic.
Ha. The dems are the enemies of democracy.
D D. — nope.
Gerrymander Braun has got to go. What an embarrassment to Indiana
Braun:
“Lackey” is a derogatory term for someone who is an obedient, subservient follower or servant to another person, often used to describe someone who does not question orders. While the word has historical roots in a less negative sense of a footman or servant, today it is used as a criticism, similar to a fawner, sycophant, or yes-man.
What kind of ethical disability must one have in order to support a murder-suicide pact involving one’s own democracy? Help us understand.
+1
Incredibly disappointing, but not terribly shocking. Those headlines about Indiana Republicans standing up for democracy may have been premature. There’s still a chance to do the right thing…
It is no surprise that Braun would eagerly kowtow to TRUMP’s demands of him . The surprise may be a backlash vote caused by the Super Stupid Super Majority MAGA CULT thinking they can safely ignore the majority of Hoosiers that opposed redistricting .
Good on you Braun. One way,hopefully, to get rid of that worthless Andre Carson who is as worse if NOT worse than his grandmother. Let’s go 9 Republicans! Wish I could vote but living out of state now.
+1. Carson is my Rep and he is the worst
Amen!
Shame on Governor Braun and shame on the Republican legislators that want with “integrity” to change the rules in the middle of the game. I am exhausted by the moral majority with their evangelical values changing the rules and doing what they want when they want because “they can”. Not because it is right or that is better for all voters, it just because they are told to do it and they do it. No conscience. Shame.
Republicans are the reason Andre Carson is there. They have drawn his district for 15 years now…
I see that our dem ‘friends’ have decided to chime in on the matter, ‘aghast’ that the GOP might do what they’ve been cleverly pulling off for years, nationwide.
Indiana is ALREADY gerrymandered by the GOP. It has been since 2011. Dems get 20% of Indiana’s congressional seats despite getting 40% of the vote in presidential elections. That’s just as bad as Illinois & others.
To gerrymander further is insane.
Republicans are undefeated at blaming democrats for their own bad behavior these days. Must be wild to be experiencing such wild levels of cognitive dissonance. We could probably study it, but Trump fired all the scientists so that he can build a pretty ballroom for his rich friends with our tax dollars
Big mistake. Braun is such a wimp. Speaker is a close second.
If you can’t win on policy, then cheat….
This is going to be interesting. There were already a few purple districts and they will have to dilute some of them to break up the blue districts. There is chance this will backfires when they don’t get the real world results they expect.
Cheat? Pot meet kettle. Please try to stay informed
Yawn. Democrats has a Congressional bill to ban the practice. Republicans refused to let it be voted on. Try harder next time.
Braun is an ape.
Hopefully the legislators have a spine and don’t go along with this debacle. Life long republican voter, but two democrats in congress from Indiana is not out of line or unreasonable.
“RIGGED ELECTIONS!” To quote Trump.
As always Trump projects his true intentions..
They are more likely to undo what they did in 2010-12 than they are to get more GOP position. Calling this in for a vote is a silly waste of taxpayer money.
Having Dems call our current maps as gerrymandered is laughable at best. Check out their last maps which had a district run from the Jennings County line to well into Allen County with odd fingers into Shelby and Johnson County or from the Ohio River to Warren County. Both well over half the length of the state. Talk about gerrymandering.
Their last maps? Care to share what year Democrats in Indiana got to draw maps without any Republican input?
Republicans have drawn the last two sets of maps without Democratic input. But at least they asked the public for their input on those maps … unlike the maps they drew in secret and will be forcing down our throats at the behest of the only person they care about, Dear Leader.
They are gerrymandered just not as ugly as some other states. Take a close look at the two Dem districts and the fact that any potential blue votes – northern Marion County and Michigan City area were crammed into the 7th and 1st districts, respectively. This created safer red districts of the 2nd and the 6th.
In a few years, neighbors, friends, and the history books will remember exactly who collaborated with a wanna-be autocrat, and who stood up for Hoosier values of honesty and fairness.

When will this childish “tit for tat” run its course? Bullying at its best.
Originally, I was against the redistricting effort. First of all, when you eliminate Dem districts, those voters will still vote Democrat and could, potentially, change a tight election and eliminate an incumbent Republican. Secondly, if Republicans can do it here, Texas and elsewhere, Dems can do it in their states…however, those states are already so heavily gerrymandered for Dems, there’s not much they can do.
I change my mind on this because, while unusual, mid-census redistricting is not illegal and, in some cases, has been ordered by the courts.
I’m in favor of all legal means to rid America of the scourge of the Dem party and its satanic bent.
The party of murderers, child traffickers, fentanyl trafficking, drug cartels, growing Democrat voting bases by importing illegals, giving them driving licenses so, they have a defacto registration to vote, the party of communism, socialism and radical Islamism, the party of mutilating kids for whomever the hell knows…etc…
Hey John … just remember which party won’t release the Epstein files after spending years claiming they would do so at their first such opportunity.
“satanic bent”???
John S. surely can’t be a real person, because I refuse to admit than anone this single minded actually exists, even in Indiana.
John prefers to be the party of making up lies about your fellow Americans to justify supporting a wannabe be fascist dictator while he and his friends get fabulously rich and we get fewer freedoms and higher practices
John can’t breathe out his nose.
John can’t breathe out his nose.

Why does any of this matter? At the end of the day, people can vote to drain the swamp, but noone shows up. That’s why we are in this mess in the first place.
Disgusting, but sickeningly expected by the rotting remnants of a once great Republican Party.
Adding a handful of sycophantic MAGAmaniacs is dangerous enough, but the true damage is more widespread, insidious and the ultimate goal of the Trumpian movement. Trump has denigrated, and in some cases desecrated, ALL of our precious institutions with long lasting and possibly uncontrollable effects to our democracy. Our electoral process WAS the example for the world. Thanks to so called leaders like Mike Braun that is no longer the case.
+1
Braun is setting himself up for another failure. Who are his advisors?
Braun gets his advice from a guy named Trump.
Gross
No amount of redistricting by these imbeciles will ensure that I, along with hundreds of thousands (maybe million plus) of Hoosiers like me, have any representation in D.C. I’m so tired of extremists on the right and the left, but that is all we are left with. Of course, these idiots want to preserve their do-nothing elected positions because most are likely unemployable in a real job.
