They've been flirting with a purpleish district for awhile, yea? Or at least since they went to 4 districts, they've had a couple of Dems in the House over the years. This is less a surprise than codifying SLC being the Austin of Utah, for lack of a better term?

I'm not happy, but this not on Schumer. Even Bernie says so & does not believe in replacing the imperfect Schumer. Dem in fighting is doing the GOP's work.
