Americans Give Trump a Resounding Victory – Now the Swamp Must Allow Him to Govern

Today is a historic day. Donald Trump is the first president to win two non-consecutive presidential terms since President Grover Cleveland in 1892. He also is the first Republican candidate to win the popular vote since President Bush 20 years ago. This resounding victory presents a strong mandate to Washington D.C. – we want change!  We want a president who will give us lower prices and lower inflation. We want a president who will tap into our own natural resources, so we don’t have to depend on foreign tyrants for oil and gas. We want a president who will enforce our border with an immigration policy that does not allow millions of unknown foreigners and drugs to pour into our nation. We want a president who works for the benefit of the people, not for their own power or wealthy elites. Most importantly, we want a president who puts Americans first.

Trump Derangement Syndrome Escalates As Election Day Draws Near

Rant or Rave Wednesday

With election day less than a week away, people’s emotions are running high. Trump is outperforming all the polls compared to previous election cycles; however, given that anything can happen, and the Democrats are willing to go to extraordinary lengths to prevent a Trump victory, it would be foolish to assume that he’s got it wrapped up.

The best way to gauge how the presidential candidates are faring is to watch the RealClearPolitics poll, which utilizes the average of numerous polls to take into account potential biases or issues of any one individual poll. As of October 26^th, Trump is leading nationally by 0.1 points. Now, we keep hearing about how the polls in this election have a razor-thin margin but let me put this into perspective for you. At this point during the last two election cycles, Trump was losing nationally to Biden by 7.4 points and was losing to Clinton by 5.6 points. Keep in mind that he tends to generally underperform in the polls compared to actual election numbers. So, it is possible that President Trump could win the popular vote. This would be a huge feat as the last Republican to win the popular vote was George W. Bush 20 years ago. [Read more…] about Trump Derangement Syndrome Escalates

Kamala Ditches Al Smith Dinner – Another Unforced Error

Rant or Rave Wednesday

The Alfred E. Smith Dinner is an annual event that raises money for organizations involved in assisting New York’s neediest children. The Catholic charity dinner has taken place since 1946 and since 1960, has featured the presidential nominees from both parties every election year. It is a time when opposing campaigns can come together to take good-natured jabs at each other in an open setting. This election cycle, VP Harris opted not to attend – another huge mistake and loss for the flailing campaign.

During the dinner, prominent individuals look forward to the highlight of the night – hearing the parties’ nominees roast each other. It provides an opportunity of levity for candidates during a campaign season. We all remember the contentious 2016 campaign between President Trump and Hilary Clinton. At that dinner, President Trump made a joke about pardoning Hilary Clinton. It was quite funny and even elicited a hearty laugh from Secretary Clinton. For those of us who found Clinton to be phony or unlikeable, that moment humanized her. And that is the point of the Al Smith dinner from the political perspective – to humanize the candidates and see a softer side of them. [Read more…] about Kamala Ditches Al Smith Dinner
