On Tuesday voters went to the polls to cast their ballots in Ohio for an open House seat previously held by a Republican.
The republican candidate was trailing his democratic opponent by double digits. Thanks to the President, who held a rally last week for the republican candidate, the race became a near tie going into Election Day.
The republican squeaked out a lead with less than a 2,000 vote difference. The state is now counting absentee ballots which could sway the election to the Democrat. The general opinion is that the Republican will maintain his lead and go on to be declared the winner. As they say though, it ain’t over until the fat lady sings.
A republican has held this seat in Ohio for many decades, so why suddenly was this race so close? The answer is turnout. The Democrats turned out their voters in much greater numbers than the Republicans. This is the exact same thing that gave us Obama for a second term.
In many ways, this mid-term election may be the most important mid-term election of our lifetime. It certainly is every bit as important as the last Presidential election.
The people did what almost no one thought was possible by electing President Trump. Remember there were no polls who gave the President a chance of winning. But, the American silent majority came out and voted; turning the election over to the President and half of the country is still in denial over this.
I am very disappointed in the electorate. We are flirting with complete disaster by not getting out the vote and not voting period. My guess is that many Republicans committed the ultimate sin. They “assumed” the Republican would win this race because a Republican has held the seat for so long. We all know what assume means and it couldn’t be truer than in this case.
We did all this work to get the President elected. We beat all the odds and put this President into office. The President is making good on his promises thus there is nothing for us to complain about. Yet, by not voting we are actually voting against the President that we just elected.
Just think about it. If the Republicans had a super majority in congress we would be much, much further down the road to Making America Great Again. With a super majority we would have already over turned Obamacare. We would have a new, improved immigration law. The wall would be much further along. The tax cuts would be permanent, the second Supreme Court nominee would have already been approved and infrastructure improvements would be in process.
Instead we are stuck in the same old Washington DC deep state mud because we don’t have enough Republicans in the Senate to allow the President’s agenda items to pass.
We owe it to ourselves and the President to get out the vote, to get off the sofa and make the effort. We need to encourage our families, our friends and co-workers to vote. Our country depends upon it. We learned in the last election that our vote does matter. To sit back now and not vote is simply unacceptable.
The Left are on a mission to destroy our Republic. They have clearly shown us what they stand for and trust me, it’s not for you or me or America in general. At every turn they stand for everything that is anti-America and anti-Trump. They want open borders even though not a week goes by where an illegal kills one of our own. They want to eliminate ICE, whose single mandate is to keep us safe. They want socialism even when they cannot point to any example where socialism has worked. In fact, in every case it has been a complete failure and a disaster for the people who are forced to live that way. They want to and will impeach the President if they gain control in Congress. That’s very clear.
I implore all of you to find out when your state primary elections are scheduled and make plans to vote and to get the word out to all those around you to do the same.
This is so important. This is our time to stand up and be counted. Don’t assume anything. Get this done. It is important for all of us. We may never again have a President like this one who is not a politician and who is willing to fix so many wrongs in our Government. We must give him the power he needs to do the work of the people, not the work of the Government. Don’t treat this like just another election. It is not. It is the most important election in your lives.
