Dems Downplay MAGA Redistricting Threat To Congressman Cleaver

In this life, people rarely get what they want by asking politely for it . . . In the end, people usually end up taking the things that will REALLY advance their cause.

Accordingly . . . 

INSIDERS HINT AT REDISTRICTING OPPORTUNITY FOR MAYOR Q DESPITE HOPE TO DOWNPLAY REDRAWN MAPS THAT WILL LIKELY HURT CONGRESSMAN CLEAVER!!! 

Per ushe this year . . .

The potential chaos that threatens to upset the balance of power was inspired by Prez Trump.

It's unlikely that the POTENTIAL map redraw will put a Republican in office . . . However . . .

Even a little tweak could have dramatic results . . .

At 80-something . . . Congressman Cleaver could retire without many questions or controversy.

OR . . .

The map tumult might be the last opening for Mayor Q to advance beyond 12th & Oak and FINALLY move to the Beltway where most of his friends reside. 

Make no mistake . . . A primary challenge will be so ugly that Mayor Q will NEVER recover if he loses. 

And, in fairness, we notice Congressman Cleaver is just as feisty as ever and even more eager to clap back against the MAGA White House.

Meanwhile . . . 

Many critics contend that it's past time for a map redraw of this district that was custom-made for Congressman Cleaver and NOBODY else . . . Check-it:  

As Texas embarks on a special legislative session that includes revising that state’s congressional districts to help Republicans, President Donald Trump is reportedly asking for Missouri to do the same.

The reaction among legislative leaders, however, is decidedly negative.

Asked by text about a report from Punchbowl News on a new redistricting effort, state Senate President Pro Tem Cindy O’Laughlin responded with a horror emoji. 

“I know this is a topic being talked about in Washington,” she added, “but no one has asked us to do anything about redistricting.”
