Why not look at these resigning Republican legislators as opportunities for Dems to be elected to their seats.

It will be much easier to win if the GOP substitutes are radical right wing nut jobs like Moore.

That's the trouble. Cruz won't leave. Ryan won't leave. These guys have no conscience, they're in it totally to line their own pockets, and to turn the nation into a fascist state which benefits the millionaires and billionaires in Congress (and their buddies in the corporate sector). The "good" ones will leave and we'll be left with the nasty bits.

if the dems and indies weren't.....fuck it. I'll get banned if I say how I really feel.

Unless we unite against twitler, the dmage these fuckers in power will do to the country will take a generation or two to undo.

Get ready for 7-3 SCOTUS, more gerrymandering....and if even possibly, remote but possible: a constitution amendment or two.
