2016 isnt looking good for the Republicans. Their front-runner is a reality TV star. The person behind the front-runner is the brother of one of the most embarrassing presidents in American history. The entire Republican field just keeps producing one gaffe after another. When it comes down to it, gerrymandering and rigging the election will be the GOPs best chance at securing the White House next year.
Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins discuss this.

(14,449 posts)Wow. That is a new one. Perhaps that is thrown around to much that it has lost its meaning to House elections. I am glad that republicans are having trouble. It is there's to lose since this is third democratic presidency in a row. Keep screwing up GOP. I don't mind at all.

(9,426 posts)Same old same old. They can not win without dirty tricks. Rove was so sure Mittens would win, he almost lost his composure on Faux when President Obama won. If not for the group disrupting the "fixed" voting machines, we would have had Rmoney as President. What a disaster that would have been. The Democratic politicians had better check those voting machines ahead of time, otherwise we will be humiliated with President TRUMP.

(5,191 posts)Righting the gerrymandering will take time, but for 14 years (really since the 2002 mid-terms) the Democratic Party has not raised hell about hackable voting machines. This REALLY bothers me. Even if you can get a bill passed, keep trying and get Republicans on record voting against unfair elections!

I don't think many realize just how many cant vote now, what with new laws passed recently, but we should always be vigilant and need to be careful since this time, they KNOW they will have to cheat to win.
