Great post and description of what the congressional republicans are like by Turbineguy

What part of "they" lost the election(s) don't the republicans get? They lost POTUS,
they dropped seats in the senate, and if it wasn't for gerrymandering they would have
lost the house* too.


In 2012 in Ohio Obama won state wide and Sen. Brown won by over 6 points but
only 4 of the 16 Congressional seats went to democrats even though this state
has more democratic voters.

71,000 more Pennsylvanians voted Dem than Repug for Congress in 2012, yet we have 13 R and 5 D Congresspersons. Something is very, very wrong and must be fixed.
