Gerrymandering may well leave the House in...Darrel,<br />Gerrymandering may well leave the House in Republican hands for the next election. However, this immigration bill is going to have a huge impact on the Senate especially in the southwestern US. Here is my theoiry - the immigration bill is already having trouble in the House and McConnell in the Senate is intent on his pledge of, "We will grant this new president no success". So, expect a filibuster. <br />Are there enough GOP votes to break a filibuster? I think so. However, you have to factor in the backlash from the bagger right.<br />But, back to the House - Boehner wants a majority or the majority to move forward with the bill. He isn't going to get that and the blame will fall at the feet of him and the baggers.<br />I am waiting until after Labor Day at the horse track to talk to the Democrats. Alas, I don't have the money to run but I am going to be a voice. Perhaps, a loud voice....<br /><br />SargeSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892211119418623595noreply@blogger.com
