A Democrat in Texas would be called a Republican in most other states.

The only people that like gerrymandering are the people in
office. Gerrymandering is not partisan or ideological. Both
sides do it. Both sides suck because of it.

The 42 member "freedom caucus" in the house only exists
because of gerrymandering. They are in districts that are so
skewed that only a super conservative "republican" could ever
win.
As for voter ID there is tons of evidence that absentee
ballots have a lot of voter fraud but in person voting the
fraud is less than .01%. All the voter ID laws are designed
to suppress in person voting with an illegal "poll tax". Oh
sure the ID might be "free" but the birth certificate you need
to produce costs money. Also in texas you can use your
hunting or fishing license but you can't use a student
ID...even if the student ID was issued by a state school.
Tell me exactly how those two things in this country are 1.
Fair 2. Make America great?!?!

"conservative minority" HAH!
Most people are in the middle and couldn't give a shit
less, while indeed a minority fight for or against most
things.
"Progressive liberals" often forget the difference between
legal and illegal immigration.
If the "conservative minority" is gerrymandering districts
in Illinois, they sure aren't very good at it. Both
parties gerrymander and it sucks.
You need an ID to do almost everything else in your life,
why should the most important thing be any different?
BTW: I'd like to welcome unchecked emotion to a mostly
logical conversation.

"The Wall" is a stupid, ignorant and an expensive attempt
to solve a non-issue...PERIOD!
My great grandfather was an immigrant from Italy...when no
one liked Italians. Italy was poor and invading north
africa his motivation was the same as all the South
Americans coming here now (I say South Americans because
most of the illegal immigrants are forms Countries south
of Mexico) He forbade my grandmother from learning Italian
because at that time the Italians were looked down upon
(early 1900's)
Totally shameful that everyone has the "close the gate
behind me" mentality. America (not 'merica) is built on
immigrants. Those who have no compassion for the Syrians
fleeing oppression or the South Americans migrating north
for a better life are just plain stupid in my opinion.
As a progressive liberal - yeah I said it and I'm fucking
proud of being a progressive liberal - im so sick and
tired of the agenda of this country being driven by this
damn conservative minority who would rather see their
neighbor fail. And yes it is a conservative minority
because they have to gerrymander districts and enact
"voter ID" laws in order to win. Social security and
Medicare/Medicade are vital to our well being and prevent
the old, sick and poor from dying on the streets.
I could go on and on but #fucktrump and #fuckcruze their
policies and rhetoric have no place in a "civilized" society.
What the happened to "love thy neighbor"?!?!? Seriously WTF?
I can't wait to see the republican convention contort
itself into a million pieces...you reap what you sow.
America is already fucking great!
Sorry for all the cursing but it really chaps my hide to
see American politicians act this poorly.

Guys, I am not a Trump fan boy, so let’s make this
disclaimer up front.
However, there is a LOT of street smarts in this guy.
The negotiation is just that… a negotiation. IF he
gets in, and starts this process and is bound and
determined to make it happen, extremities can be
discussed (or thrown out there as shots across the
bow), and then adjustments get made. The point of a
wall WILL be built, coming from him, gets it started,
and having Mexico start to feel the pinch (in whatever
way that takes) will get people’s attention.
Is “the wall” THE answer to immigration challenges? Of
course not. Is it helpful and one part of the total
solution needed? absolutely. There IS NO border with
the U.S. right now. What is there is a façade. Trump
is crude and I wish he would tone down the rhetoric a
bit (for everybody’s benefit, including himself), but
this country needs action in so, so many areas and
nobody seems to have the gonads to do anything that
isn’t buried in PC or politics or corruption or power
or all of the above.
I acknowledge that I may be naïve or optimistic on the
subject. But, I /still believe in America/ and its
strength and there is been absolutely nothing done in
recent time to maintain or increase its strength… only
further dilution and division and flailing discourse
at an unprecedented level historically.
Not a Trump fan, but “let’s have some balls and fix
our country fan”
