Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and President Donald Trump
When President Trump called on Gov. Abbott to redistrict the Texas congressional districts, he may have opened a Pandora's box. Trump wants to add five more Republican members in the House of Representatives to erase the razor-thin margin Republicans enjoy now and the Texas redistricting would do that.
Trump says he's entitled to the additional members because of his huge election victory. Entitled? Stupid is as stupid says.
Trump's request and Abbott's calling a special session of the state legislature toe redistrict the Texas congressional districts may come back to bite Trump in the ass.
Now California Gov. Gavin Nuisance - oops, that should read Newsom - and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul have threatened to redistrict their respective state congressional districts if Texas redistricts its districts.
If Newsom and Hochul were to do that, the Democrats would gain control of the House even though the Republicans added five additional members.
Right now the Texas redistricting is in limbo because the Democratic members of the state House have fled the state, thereby leaving that chamber without the quorum required to pass any legislation.
The Texas redistricting will eventually come to pas because Abbott can keep calling special sessions of the legislature. When the redistricting legislation passes, watch out for California and New York.
And that squealing you'll hear is Trump suffering from a sharp pain in his ass.
