Indiana is a conservative Republican state. Republicans in the state senate messed with the bull and got the horns.

21 GOP Senators killed a redistricting bill, joining Democrats in rejecting a plan to gerrymander the state's electoral map and thus shut the Democrats out of power completely in the state.

Seven of those Senators were up for re-election and five of the seven went down in flames as Trump endorsed their challengers and they learned what it meant to go after a bull in a china shop like Trump.

Granted it means no redistricting, but I'll settle for a nice little butt-whipping like this anyway.

This is how we are going to win. We have to get rid of the opportunists, the people who play politics when it is convenient for them, who are there not to work our will but to enrich themselves. We need principled leaders, not self-seeking scoundrels.

No doubt these Republicans were in cahoots with Mike Pence, the turncoat former Vice President and erstwhile Republican.

Look; we are not just jockeying for positions of authority but rather are fighting a deadly game for the very survival of the Republic. Yet we still have so many Republicans willing to go along to get along, who think it is just a game and one they intend no so much winning as surviving. Republicans are forever playing for a draw. They started doing that when a draw WAS a win, back in the bad old days when Democrats owned government. But now they are still playing for a draw and are unwilling to go for the kill because they fear the wheel will soon turn and they don't want to burn bridges. But that never stops the Democrats and when the wheel turns THEY will go in for the kill. This is now a true blood sport, like a human hunt, and these fools had better get in the game soon or they will perish, along with our nation.
