Democratic Congress Likely to be Far More Conservative Than Its Leadership

[WMS]

Right on cue....

Oh great, we lost the House and Senate in 1994 because of DINOs who killed Clinton's health care plan. The GOP has been so success because they are ideological driven. We can't fight the Republicans with spineless DINOs.

This thread wouldn't be complete without jfern mouthing his talking points over and over and over and over.....

Do you have any rebuttal to the fact that in 1994, conservative Democrats lost by the droves?

That would be in part because all of you lefty Democrats backstabbed the moderates by gerrymandering districts to gain more left-wing districts. See, oh, the entire South, for example. Just thought you should be reminded of that.

Remember, most of that was because of the forced creation of minority-majority CDs per VRA of 1965 (one of the worst pieces of legislation ever).  In the redistricting, the Dems were forced to push their PVI even further towards to Republican side, which made the old-timers even more vulnerable if the electorate wasn't happy.

Nearly every CD the Democrats lost that year had a PVI towards the Republicans vis a vis 1992.

Oh yes, the VRA's M-M districting is just terrible.

And there were a lot of retirements as well in 1994...
