As they say on social media, this ain't going to go the way you think it's going to go.
matched
And it hasn't.
matched
It has not gone the way that Republicans intended for it to go.
matched
And if you if you couple that with the unpopularity, the increasingly unpopularity of President Trump and his agenda, what you get is a formula for a pretty big blue wave or at least a bloodbath.

when midterms roll around i think the new the latest statistics around independent voters and their approval of trump is hovering around like 23 so if you're gerrymandering these maps and you have independent voters who are looking at donald trump with an approval rating that is lower than yes 23 and and thank you for making me look smart right it's 23 um
matched
If you have roughly 77% of your electorate who's looking at the president, or at least of independents rather, who's looking at the president and they're not approving, you need those votes because the country is so polarized along bipartisan lines that everybody's fighting for those independent votes, that center.
matched
And so if you're not capturing that center and you're failing at stealing seats and maps, that's a really, really bad equation for you to be at.
matched
And there's an irony with all of this.
matched
I want to remind you all, this was not...
matched
A product of the brainchild of the Democratic Party.
matched
This was Republicans yet again overplaying their hand and getting super greedy with it.
matched
Like you did not have to do this.
matched
For those of you who may not remember civics.
matched
The type of redistricting that we are seeing across the country.
matched
usually occurs every decade after the census is done.
matched
This sort of mid-decade redistricting thing is virtually unheard of.
matched
I don't want to use the word unprecedented because it's something that we use over and over and over again when we're talking about this administration.
matched
In fact, we're probably going to use it a bunch of times during this show.
matched
But at the end of the day, this is something that normally does not happen, did not have to happen for any reason, and is only occurring because Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, the right, and MAGA Nation was trying to take more seats.
matched
You could have just left democracy being what it is, right?
