The GOP was too aggressive in 2001 with PA and they ended up losing 5 seats.

There’s no reason to play offense at all and try to dislodge anyone. 12-7 (soon to be 12-6) is a huge advantage in a state that normally votes slight D.

As for who gets eliminated, its almost certainly Critz. I’d just merge the 4th and 12th, personally, as best as can be done.

TX looks to be gaining one seat near Dallas (Collin County gaining 36% of a district, Tarrant 31%, Denton 27%, Dallas 6%); also one district near Houston (Harris County gaining 53% of a district, Ft. Bend 24%, Montgomery 18%, and Brazoria 6%); the third district would appear to anchored to Austin (Travis gaining 20%, Williamson gaining 20%...it could stretch to San Antonio, with Bexar gaining 19%).

Hidalgo gaining 17% will change the map some as well....it might be possible to rearrange the 15th and 28th to get one winnable seat, or at least shore up the 27th.

It might be possible to draw Gene Green out of a seat...for some reason the vote totals in his district were barely 65K (43-22)..those in the neighboring 14th and 22nd were 2.5 - 3x that amount.

But no, TPG, you’re not going to get 35-0.
