This may have already been said here. I saw an article yesterday talking about how there were about this many Republicans leaving and deciding not to seek re-election during Trumps first year or two. Actually I think it was only 11 total. The article, which I don’t want to post because of its toxicity, continued to explain the difference this time. This time, the difference was the level of Democrats heading out. The long term ones. More “powerful “ so to speak. That is what’s making this much more devastating for the Dems. The Republicans that left were not of much merit apparently. And as the article ended, it mentioned how the Democrats had a plan, and failed miserably. And, by the looks of things, by midterms, the Dems are finished.
And mine you this was off a CNN article I saw randomly. Them dooming of what’s coming. I think ‘22 is gonna be interesting. Expect lashing out. Expect chaos. Expect winnings.
Interesting. After some of the comments here, I did a quick review of Murphy at Wiki. She is the head of the Blue Dogs, which purport to be moderate Dems (such as it is). She is in a sharply divided district and it was expected she would have a hard time at reelection. CNN credits that to redistricting by the Republican-held FL Legislature. And yes, she is on Ways and Means, which is very powerful.
