You remember Tom Daschle? Can we try a similar play with Ryan?

Tom Daschle was our Senate Majority Leader in the early 2000s. The GOPee targeted him, spent a shitload of bux, and John Thune beat him by a cat's whisker.

This was the first time in decades a party's congressional leader was voted out at home.

Can Eddie Munster Ryan be made to suffer the same fate?

the Gerrymandering Suit. If that is ruled unconstitutional,several Districts will change in makeup. With as many as 4 Congressman going out the door. Ryan lost Janesville in 2016 but the way the District is jacked up,he won every where else. Remember,Janesville was the home of GM car plant and when that disappeared,it beat the heck out of the City,with the 2010 redistricting,it is considered a safe seat.
