They’ll bend the knee for Dear Leader.
They need to consider the reality that their Dear Leader will be dead soon and Vance doesn’t have the charisma (and doesn’t attract the voters or $).
Trump’s only 79 and his parents lived until 93 and 88. Does Trump behave like a man who plans on following the Constitution and leaving office on January 20, 2029, or is he behaving like a third world dictator who is going to bully and lock up everyone who doesn’t submit to him?
I guess it makes more sense to rig the election at the individual state levels…
I think they should put the districts back to where they were in 2008. It is interesting to think that any additional gerrymandering they do now could undo what was done then. Doing more seems like it would be simply a waste of money to pander to the Federal leaders.
Strong Arm Tactics
Who recalls when States’ rights, subsidiarity and federalism were part of the GOP creed? Perhaps as long-time Republican operative Stuart Stevens wrote – “It Was All A Lie”.
Winner-take-all political rules is a big reason we’ve been driven to this polarized negative partisanship world. Harris received 40% of the Indiana vote – there is no common sense justification to move toward a 9-0 representation of our state.
That not how it works, there’s no requirement that Republicans make sure that Democrats gets 40% of a say. When Republicans rode the negative partisanship (and, yes, they’re the initiators and masters of the game) to win a bunch of statehouses in 2010, they made sure to have as many supermajorities as possible.
I just can’t believe they played the long game the entire Obama administration and … turned the keys over to Donald Trump. Maybe that’s just desserts for playing that game.
Yes, Joe.
Trump was the inevitable outcome of the long game; playing the game creates anti-establishment populism against your own party, so a populist outsider has to take over in order for it to work.
Vance has nothing else to do. Not sure he even has an office. Every photo of Trump has him just over the shoulder. Has he or many of the current leaders ever truly read and understand our Constitution? State Rights are inbedded and vital.
Time for our state legislators do what is right for Indiana rather than just bow to demands from idiots!!!
Stay in DC bozo
This is an opportunity for our state legislature to show some backbone and act like real republicans who always supported states rights. Everyone of them knows better. Trump did not win by a majority of votes despite what he and his cabul of supporters say. If the legislature allow this to happen it is nothing short of a coup at the state level. There will be repercussions.
Oh, did he finally decide to take a break from vacation to continue his work undermining the Democratic Republican process?
