Nick Confessore has an important post here about why losing a few House seats by punishing reps. who agree to phase out Social Security wouldn’t be the end of the world. Frankly, I doubt anyone will lose their seats. I think the process will change their minds before it comes to that. But if a few fall, so be it. The Democrats are in the minority. (Washington Dems should take a moment to absorb that.) Gaining or losing a few seats won’t change much either way. What will change things is recasting the issue map in a way that can securely propel the Dems back into the majority. Read Nick’s piece.
