  1. Before the Trump MAGA-Republicans start feeling good about themselves, they should remember that only 31-percent of Indiana’s registered voters are registered Republicans, while Democrats and Independents combined make up 69-percent of Indiana voters. Trouble looms ahead for Trump and his sycophants here.

  2. It needs to be remembered that this is only the primariy and not the general election. Yes, Trump carried many these districts by large percentages in 2024, but things may have changed and all it takes is for 1 or 2 of the new redistricting friendly GOP candidates to lose and the whole debate becomes moot.

  3. This “revenge” is going to backfire big time. Hoosiers are not cheaters and they don’t want cheaters running our state government. These people who won primaries based on Trump’s money can celebrate all they want but I don’t think they will win in the general election. If the State’s democratics come out and vote its game over for these cheaters.

  4. I don’t think there will be a blue or any color of tsunami. Too many Democrats forget that most of the Democratic voters in this state are moderate to conservative Democrats. There is a vocal wing of Bernie Sanders/AOC supporters, but they are not the majority, or any where close to it.

    Most independents are of similar perusasions.

    And these districts are carefully gerrymandered by the Republicans.

    I think at best, both in Congress and the Indiana legislature, there may be incremental gains but not a tsunami.

  5. oh, and what happened to Comments on other articles. I don’t seem to be able to find comments on Chief Justice Roberts rather stunning claims.
