no one should be surprised to see redistricting used to build a governable majority.

I mean that when the GOP has 2 districts: a choice of a normal republican and Tea Party congressional district, they are redistricting making one Republican district, and eliminating the Tea Party person in the process. The Republicans are orphaning the Tea Baggers from their districts, in favor of non-Tea Party Republicans, where ever they can. It's the easiest way to get rid of them. Most will be one-termers. At least they don't get lifetime healthcare or a pension.

BTW, the courts have thrown out several Republican redistricting maps already.
