Well this past week was a bust one for me. I drove my daughter back to Denver, and of course watched the election results, with very little joy. One of the folks that read my blog, really hit the nail on the head, and I am going to just cut and paste his comments cause they are so well written, and I feel really hit the nail on the head, Bill, thank you so much for allowing me to share. Bill writes, ‘Sadly, after absorbing the results of this latest 2022 midterm election I have ask myself, why? Was it a lack of enthusiasm, or was it that the current condition of our economy, and state of affairs, is not yet bad enough to convince people to vote the current policy makers out of office. If the election results are true, is Trump no longer a force for people to get behind? If that is true, is it time for us to look to someone else in the future. I love the guy for what he has done in the past, what he stands for, and his business foresight, however, it seems his personality is too much to overcome for a-lot of voters, which means, if we are going to save this republic, maybe it’s time for us to make a change? A majority of the vote, I believe, was a vote against Trump more so than a vote for the Democrat candidate. As much as I love President Trump, I would rather loose the battle but win the war.‘.
I really believe that Bill is correct. I agree with him, I love President Trump for what he has done, the economy was never better. His love for his country, and putting it first on the world stage. He would stand toe to toe with any of the world leaders and AMERICA did not take a back seat in anything thing, as well he told the world what we will or will not put up with. And I believe this along with the Democrats knowing that if something did not change his popularity and the way the country was going along, really great, they would stand no chance of regaining the White House in 2020. Hence, I truly believe that there was backroom planning between the leaders of the Democratic party, and the Chinese government to release COVID on the world, to stop it in it tracks. Mind you China does not give a crap about how many of it’s people, nor the world’s population are killed or hurt by this action, they only want the end result. Once again, I want everyone to understand, this is just MY opinion.
Trump support and stumped for high-profile candidates saw losses in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio. his to me tells me that Trump does not carry the influence that he might once have, and as in the case of Pennsylvania with Fedderman, just might have cost Dr. Oz the race. I mean after all, Fedderman only wanted to legalize fentanyl, and reduce prison population by letting them go.
I agree with Bill, much as I love Trump, I believe he comes with way to much ‘drama’ and will do more damage to the Republican party by saying he is going to run for President, then he will do good, I feel it will fracture the party, and we will not be able to get the Republican candidate elected.
IF we do gain control of the House, I also feel the Republican party needs new leadership, from speaker all the way to Mitch. Now will this happen, I have no idea, but this party really did a crappy job of getting the message out this time.
Ok now for my trip back to Denver. We drove her Tahoe back, and after leaving the wonderful state of Illinois, the most I paid for fuel was $3.39, in two cases, I paid $3.09. Ok what is wrong with this crap. And this is even after JB said he was going to suspend the .19 per gallon fuel tax he was going to implement. Ok, this is just wrong on so many levels. Is taxes, or the lack of, that made the fuel prices less, now mind you, my niece is in Florida right now is saying the same thing, fuel down there $3.39. I am going to have to look into this, you know inquiring minds want to know.
To the fact that JB won the race again, just really blows my old mind. He campaigned on his no cash bail, reduce prescription meds cost, and how many jobs he has brought to the state, and of course his biggest campaign slogan was Darren Bailey was to radical for Illinois.
And of course the last one that Biden coined, MEGA MAGA Republicans, and tied ALL Republicans to this as if we are evil and are all in lockstep with Trump. I will say that the ‘marketing’ of this, through all of the legacy media, was very well done, and I believe it did have an adverse impact on the midterms.
This next week will be a very defining week for the Republicans, so we shall see in which direction we are headed. The most important thing we do now is keep the Republican party together and cohesive.
Make America Great Again
Today Was a Blessing, and Tomorrow is a New Day
