There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.

Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Amazing, given his track record of losing elections that he puts money into.
Point, but it convinces me even more that many in the conservative media think that 2012 was a fluke; they genuinely refuse to acknowledge the shifts in demographics that are going to hand Democrats elections for the foreseeable future.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"True. Their House majority is, from what I read, maintained largely through gerrymandering.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"The individual states set their own voting districts. That's in the Constitution, IIRC. Too tired to look it up.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Personally I wish to hear less complaints about state's rights abuse and more to putting the state government to good use. I mean, which is going to be easier to reform, state or federal legislature? There wouldn't be so much a problem if the state was more representative and respectful of its citizens than the nation. Then the arguments against federal overreach would make more sense and we can pay attention to that.

Everything is Possible. But some things are more Probable than others. JEBAGEDDON 2016I can't see Christie becoming Democrat, if that's what you mean by switch.
I can maybe see him getting out of the Republican Party if it keeps on as it has.
