Reading comprehension. I said generally consistent. That implies leeway, which has led to that shift you described. It’s not like these changes happen overnight. No voter should be caught off guard by shifting party lines.

Well done sir... however, I still have to put you second today, because today belongs to Tyrone Brandyburg:

The Republicans are better at it now, because the technology has changed so much. Obama’s massive email database is cupcakes compared to the apparatus the Republicans created in conjunction with the rise of Silicon Valley. The Democrats failed to catch up, and look at how much damage this brand of gerrymandering has…

Right. So typically in mid-level politics, if one candidate has a lot more money than another, that candidate will win.

Modern Moderates are either ignorant or liars. And anybody that’s “offended” by boisterous protest to fascism isn’t a fucking moderate, they’re an enabler.

And that’s why “moderates” are absolutely as culpable for the current state of affairs as the left and the right. They’re so desperate to maintain their illusion that “both sides are the same” that they see the right’s fears that Obama would do things that they completely made up themselves and the left’s fears that…

Yeah. I’m never going to say that they are voting Republican for good reasons (because I don’t think there are good reasons), but they exist. They’re doing it. Maybe they’re “not like all those other girls” or maybe they believe they should submit to their husband, or believe that women who need abortions are sluts or…

I know people who claim to be ‘moderates’ generally lean more conservative. That’s not a stretch, and can be backed up with documented fact (voting records) if you actually want someone to shove that in your face. Of course, like a typical conservative, you’ll claim the sources are biased and part of some liberal…

No, you did not read or are playing dumb. Here is what happened, one last time for you, slowly:

But see you’re probably not even close to moderate. You’re probably 70/30 conservative...you just like hiding under the umbrella of the word ‘moderate’, so you can have your cake and eat it too.

Honestly, people like you are are the worst, because you’re afraid to actually admit who you are.

I didn’t “blame” the GOP for anything. I simply stated that Gerrymandering has always been a localized practice.

That’s not entirely forthcoming. Gerrymandering is an old practice, and it has always been localized.

This is a goddamn masterpiece

There are three other factors that need to be considered. First gerrymandering inherently makes it so that more extreme/partisan candidates get elected. The Republicans are better at it, and have more heavily gerrymandered seats, so they’re the ones who get pushed further out of control. Which feeds back into the…

Ive been searching for the perfect comment....this is it....

[...] and ESPN notes that she will have an “expanded on-site presence at events such as the Masters, World Series, Super Bowl, the College Football Playoff, and College Football National Championship.” 

I read the whole thing too and had the following thoughts:

Trump’s hair is a toupee made from asbestos fibers. A blowtorch would have no effect on it.
