Glad they are feeling the heat - we have been living it for years. If they insist on supporting the Democratic Party, let them move to the highly successful Dem ran cities and leave the "real" America to the rest of us.
Beware the D transitioning to R for election purposes. Its is where Rinos come from. I really wish we would junk the dem/pub system - it is so broken.
The only way we can crush the dem/rep stranglehold (it's not a system ... they simply rigged the system to obtain control) is by growing the House of Representatives beyond 435. We should have at least 1500 Reps by now. It is way too easy to corrupt a little over 200 people. 750 is a bit more difficult.
More reps could also solve the gerrymandering problem as districts will be smaller.
To be clear, I am not saying that a larger House should include members that get an outrageous salary and all of the perks the scumbags currently get. Terms in the House were meant to be more of a civic duty and not a career. Having a Representative that represents almost 800,000 people these days is beyond ridiculous. These Reps need their power diluted, big time.
Great suggestion on the # of reps.
