Sherrod Brown is the out-of-touch male version of Elizabeth Warren US Senator from Ohio.
He defeated Republican incumbent Mike DeWine in 2006 during the historic shellacking of the Reopublican Party in a six-year itch under Big Spending, Big Government George W. Bush.
Then he was able to eke out another victory in 2012, even though Barack Obama's agenda was on trial--and failing fast.
Brown faces his third state-wide election bid, and he has been consistently under water in all the polls. The truth is that the Democratic Party brand is so bad, so elitist, so anti-American, that he cannot resonate with working people in the Buckeye State.
So, his latest fundraiser eblast is tacking into this working-class veneer.
But he's doing so with the endorsement of an enraged, arrogant elitist Hollywood celebrity: Martin Sheen.
Yep.
See it for yourself:
Hi Arthur Christopher. I'm Martin Sheen.
I may not be a real-life President, but there are three things I've learned about real-life politics.
First: What's happening right now in America is not normal. The rhetoric coming from Washington is hateful and in opposition to the values of inclusion and equality America was built on.
Second: To protect the principles we care so deeply about from the extremely partisan atmosphere -- like access to health care, a secure retirement, or investments in education or infrastructure -- we need to keep good lawmakers in place.
Senator Sherrod Brown is one of those lawmakers. He doesn't just talk about progressive values; he embodies them. He fights for them. He's an authentic leader.
Third: We need to step up. Never doubt that a group of concerned citizens, however small, can make a big difference.
I've played a lot of roles in my career. A Captain in the Vietnam War. The uncle of a young superhero. A liberal U.S. President battling an opposition Congress.
But in real life, I'm a guy from Ohio. I was born in Dayton. My mom was an Irish immigrant and my dad was a factory worker and machine inspector.
Sherrod is one of those rare lawmakers that lives up to the trust we place in him as an elected official. He puts Ohio families first, last, and always. That's the guy I want representing my family in the Senate.
Final Reflection Sherrod Brown is facing an epic defeat next year. In Buckeye territory, President Trump's pro-American, pro-worker agenda resonated like no where else. Trump stumped the Democratic Party in the state, and the political appartatus has his own hand-picked, pro-American successor in charge. Much like Pennsylvania, a Rust Belt state which has grown more conservative not just Republican, Ohio is shifting further toward the outsider/populist temperament which propelled President Trump to the top of the polls, the Republican Party nomination, and finally the Presidency. Poor Sherrod! You're going to need more than the father of the drunken, stupored "Hot Shots" actor to save your diminishing chances of re-election in 2018!
“What? Didn’t the election end November 8th, or
20th?”
Welcome to Political Science 101, folks. Even some of my
workplace peers are unclear about the Electoral College. Reminders: We are a
Constitutional Republic, not a democracy, and the vote which confirms our next
President is the Electoral College, not the nationwide popular vote. The
Clinton campaign, the Stein campaign, the major networks did everything they
could to hold the country in suspense and suspend the final results of these
elections. College cry-bullies tried everything, too. They wrote emails, they
blogged, sent hateful tweets. Yes, and all the other social media bells and
whistles one can think of.
Nothing worked.
The spoiled, liberal-leaning Millennial generation just
endured the first of many rude awakenings headed their way. Temper tantrums
work on indulgent parents and frazzled professors, but not on elected officials
and party leaders who want what’s best for the country. The college dropouts
realized that the Electoral College is more than an elevated frat party of
well-dressed activists.
They are elected officials, parents, children, business
owners committed to the future of this country. They think, not feel, and they
didn’t feel anything about the infantile rage of the left-wing crowds hating
our Constitutional Republic. Of course,
the irate snowflakes who campaigned for Hillary didn’t stop with angry,
mindless protests. The Tinseltown mafia assembled their own set of
well-connected spokesmen for a final swing at swaying the Republican electors.
I had to watch a bunch of stuck-up A- (Martin Sheen is not a
Big Time A+ actor to me. His politics are even worse. I would rather listen to
Charlie Sheen/Harper/whatever his name is sing another dirty kid’s song) and
B-list actors imploring the Republican electors to renege their pledges and
their party for the good of the country.
Let’s be honest. Their limited, regressive worldview is not
for the good of this country. The common man balance of popular vote in the
different states ensured that the populist conservative candidate won the
election. If the popular vote alone had determined the next President, We the
People would have braced for four (or eight!) years of Crooked Hillary’s creepy
laughter … and creepy socialist, statist, and depraved tyrannical policies.
Then again, would it have been a clean sweep for the
Democracy if the Presidential election was based solely on popular vote? Vice
President Mike Pence was upbeat and collected on “This Week with George
Step-on-all-of-us”. If the Presidency were determined by popular vote, Pence
argued that Donald Trump would have campaigned in California, Illinois, and New
York—and won!
Yeah, that thing about rules and procedures … The Framers of
the Constitution outlined an excellent indirect election process for selecting
the next Commander in Chief. They disdained democracy (rule by the mob majority
(whether union thugs or underground criminals, if anyone can tell the
difference). Do we really want the dysfunctional Confederate Regenerate state
of California determining our next President? Not me—and I live in this
Demon-rat dominated sinkhole!
I know that Trump will make America—including
California—great again. And I know 100% that he will be the next President. Honestly,
I never doubted that Trump would get the requisite 270 Electoral votes to
clinch win. I just wanted to see how butt-hurt the Hillary supporters and
Democratic partisans were going to be at the end of the day.
And I was pleasantly surprised.
Hillary Clinton has lost so many times, now, one would think
that she would get tired of it. But on this Electoral College Day, she flunked
even more than expected. In Colorado, one DEMOCRATIC elector announced his
refusal to vote for Crooked Hillary. Another Democratic elector in the state of
Maine announced his decision to honor the primary contest, which hard awarded
the delegation to Bernie Sanders. In Minnesota, too, an electoral declared
“Hill No! Those states, however, have clear guidelines on the submission of
electoral votes. If the candidate wins the state popular vote, then the slate
of electors must reward that candidate.
EEK! The Electors are dumping me!
But federalism is a two-edged sword. Washington State
permits “faithless” electoral votes to count, even if the voter faces a fine.
Of Washington State’s twelve, only eight voted for Clinton. Three voted for
Colin Powell (a left-wing Republican, and “compromise candidate”, I suppose).
One more went to Faith Spotted Eagle, a Dakota Tribe leader.
OUCH! After all that hemming, hawing, and pleading from the
progressive left to bait Republican electors to abandon Trump, more Democratic
electors ditched the Witch of Wall Street, corruption and all. Can anyone blame
this last-minute revolt? After all, the Democratic National Committee pulled
every trick and tipped every hand to ensure Hillary’s primary victory. Bernie
Sanders got burned unfairly burned, and these electors told Clinton “pound
sand.”
Yes, Trump had two faithless electors. One cast his ballot
for John Kasich, even though the Governor of Ohio had a smidgen of humility and
said “please don’t.” The other ballot went to Ron Paul. After three abortive
Presidential bids, the former libertarian-leaning Congressman got his first
electoral vote!
So many firsts, so little time.
The liberal university-media-Democratic Party phalanx
further confirmed how irrelevant they have become today, when the second phase
of Election 2016 drew to an end. Anti-Social Injustice Warriors jumped up and
down shouting “Kill! Kill! Kill Donald Trump’s election win!”
If Ben Franklin is in heaven looking own on the United
States, he should know that the 304 electors that voted for Trump believe in
this Republic, and they indeed intend to keep it. The liberal elite, the
left-wing technocrats, the George Soros puppets don’t understand what a
Republic is. They depend on mob rule, directed by insanity not common sense.
They want to be the wolves at the dinner and vote to dine on the lamb in the
minority.
Too late. Trump is our President, and Democrats have become further
humiliated in how divided they have become. What an Election Victory, and I
can’t wait for the inauguration!
