Stop blaming Gerrymandering for Red States being dumb as bricks when voting for State-wide seats! White voters in Red States on more than one occasion have shown their smart enough to elect a Dem to a State-wide position. They refuse to do so regularly, and that's the problem.

Let’s get something clear. The GOP has the power to keep the government from shutting down in March. They control both chambers of Congress and the White House. If they can’t reach a budget deal within their own ranks, that completely on them. Dems: Don’t lift a finger to help them. Not one.
