Quite arguably, they stole the Presidential elections in both 2000 and 2016. 2000 was aided and abetted by the Supreme Court (hence “pack the Supreme Court with cronies”), while 2016 was aided and abetted by Putin and the Russians - at least that shit is new in the Republican playbook.
Gerrymandering is also only so effective. If enough people move or die you’re stuck running a radical right candidate in a newly moderate district.
