I've been saying for a while now that gerrymandering was unlikely to be the catastrophe that Democratic doomsayers were predicting. Now it seems that I was right. A few things happened.
First, as predicted, the states that gained and lost seats were not necessarily going to help Republicans hold on to seats.
Second, they gerrymandered so aggressively where they could, that there were no more gerrymanders to create.
Third, Democratic controlled states finally saw the light and gerrymandered their own maps.
Fourth, Courts have been reluctant to endorse the worst gerrymanders (though the five worst judges in the world have seemingly given it a thumbs up).
Anyway, Democrats would currently still lose the House in November if things don't improve, but I have a hunch they will. Then the GQP will nominate a bunch of raving lunatics and all bets are off.
