Rep. Raul Grijalva spent 35 years in politics and then, like a good leftist opposed to oligarchy and privilege, left his seat to his daughter. The estate tax was one of Grijalva’s signature issues. But when the time came to step down from Congress, he passed his seat on to his daughter. The leftist pol opposed parents being able to leave their own property to their kids, but believes he has a right to pass a congressional seat to his daughter.
How ‘progressive’ for a Congressional Progressive Caucus member.
Dem voters agreed. So did the media which is really excited about the Grijalva seat.

I previously wrote about the desperate efforts by the media to try and make inevitable Dem victories in utterly safe districts they control seem like a big deal.
AZ -7 is the safest of safe Dem districts. Rep. Raul Grijalva sat in Congress since the Iraq War. And before the district switch, Gallego was winning it by 70 margins.
So why not honestly report it? The media is trying to hype up Dem voters about Democrats. Sad, isn’t it?
Almost as revealing as a leftist leaving his seat to his daughter.
