					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;And when one party has the majority of representatives…? The presidential nomination from that party or not?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

No; each party nominates its own candidates (for any office, POTUS or Congress), regardless of how many or few members it has, or how many or few representatives it has.

The only way in which the congressional boundaries would affect the POTUS election is if the Electoral College vote were a tie.  Then it goes to the House of Representatives.  If gerrymandering had skewed the House elections to favor one party over another, then in this scenario, they would have an improperly biased vote for POTUS.

Otherwise, gerrymandering improperly skews the party representation in Congress (both houses).  It also impacts local elections (mayor, state legislatures, etc.).]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;Buddy, I can promise you I mean no harm here and the left are so sensitive(must be all the fluoride in the water destroying the pineal gland). &lt;/blockquote&gt;

No need to cite conspiracies involving things you&#039;re too stupid to understand. The simpler explanation - folks are just tired of assholes like you Terry.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;But there’s plenty of flexibility in how to draw state districts for those seats.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yes, and unethically doing do to a particular party&#039;s advantage is called &quot;gerrymandering&quot;.  It does not affect the election for president.  It only affects the ratio of party representation in Congress.

&lt;blockquote&gt;If push comes to shove, just do as the Republicans did to Obama.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You make the assumption that the Democrats have the equivalent majority it Congress in order to do so.  This is not correct.  They will have run of the country (for at least 2 years).]]></description>

Not they don&#039;t.  You don&#039;t *know* the left&#039;s position on guns, you think it is something other than it is, and that is why you don&#039;t understand it.]]></description>
