Democratic Voters Still Love Trump. Dems in Trouble for 2020?

Earlier in the month of May, the Los Angeles Times did a long term review on Pueblo, Colorado residents who had voted for Trump, even though the city is Democratic-leaning.

What happened? What brought them on board the Trump Train? Why are they still standing with their President?



The Los Angeles Times reports:

Voters in this Democratic part of Colorado backed Trump. After 100days, they have no regrets

To read the polls and hear the pundits, President Trump’s first 100 days have been an utter disaster, ranking among the worst in history. But that’s not how Karen Malady sees it.

Polls and pundits mean absolutely nothing.

What matters are the votes cast on Election Day.

The 59-year-old accountant was drawn to Trump’s unconventional candidacy from the start, unlike other Republicans who came around reluctantly. She saw him as an outsider and disrupter, and his first months in office proved her right, she said, about that and other things, too.

I was not drawn to Trump's lack of conventionalism.

I was actually drawn to his committment to stop illegal immigration, and his candid caring for the men and women who had lost their loved ones to illegal aliens.

“He’s trying to build a foundation to protect this country, and they just pick apart the little things,” Malady said, as fading daylight slanted into the headquarters of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, a nonprofit charity. “‘This person was picked on, and, oh, by the way, this person is of that nationality, so that makes him a racist.’

Exactly. The globalist phalanx in this country has pushed the race-card narrative as a means of shutting down anyone who is pro-America.

Today, Americans of all backgrounds are saying NO!

“No,” she said with a small shake of her head, “they take that little they can and they dig with it.”

They have to, since there is nothing else for them to dig at. In fact, Trump has an unprecedented record of success compared to previous Republican presidents.

The anger and aggrievement that fueled Trump’s unlikely election, the sense of abandonment by a self-interested political establishment and sneering condescension from the know-it-alls, hasn’t faded in the months since Trump took office.

It will never fade American citizens are fed up with self-absorbed political parties more interested in holding onto power than enacting principles in the best interests of all Ameicans.

If anything, it has deepened here in Pueblo County, a longtime Democratic stronghold that Trump narrowly won in November. In nearly three dozen interviews with Trump voters — Democrats, independents and Republicans who had their doubts — not one said they regretted supporting him.

This is great news! The Democratic voters are glad that Trump won, too.

That's such good news for Republicans. Whatever Trump brought to the national political conversation, there is nothing but good for the GOIP to learn from.

They see a president besieged and beset not just by Democrats, a hostile media and haughty academics — all, they say, fashioned from the same cloth — but by his fellow Republicans in Congress, who seem more interested in clinging to office than helping bring about the change Trump promised.

Yes indeed! I could not agree more!

Despite the resistance, they say, he has delivered on his promise to fight for American jobs, browbeating corporate executives and toughening the country’s trade policies through executive orders. He sent a don’t-mess-with-us message to the world by bombing Syria and Afghanistan. He installed Neil M. Gorsuch on the Supreme Court, cementing a conservative majority for possibly decades to come.

The result has been a backlash startling in its ferocity: left-leaning protesters taking to the streets, pundits foaming, lawmakers sputtering.

At least the Los Angeles Times acknowledges that the LEFT-WING protesters are the ones upending our streets and attacking the rule of law.

Trump is shaking things up, said Steve Carson, 61, a retired welder who approvingly assayed the president’s start from a stool at the Chug-A-Mug tavern in Pueblo’s worn Bessemer neighborhood.

“If we’re not going to follow what’s been in place forever, people’s lives are going to change,” said Carson, a self-described independent who cast his first-ever presidential ballot to vote for Trump. “And a lot of them don’t want things to change.”

Cool! It's never too late to begin exercising the franchise which our Founders fought for and our veterans struggled and died for!

In short, if all those people in Washington and places like Hollywood and New York are so riled up, Trump supporters suggest, that means he must be doing something right.

EXACTLY! The media and the Hollywood elites are so angry--and there's nothing they can do about it! Isn't that just wonderful?!

Steel is what helped make Pueblo great and still forges much of its identity.

Many small towns and small-time cities have been hurt not helped by the globalist agenda. The corporate elites and their handlers have been more interested in making themselves rich and powerful at the expense of everyone else.

No matter how blue the state may be, men and women still have to work for a living and make the most of the difficult challenges they face. Washington DC spent more time getting in the way of people's lives. Too much micromanaging. Too much destruction from the Obama Administration. No willingness to connect with the working struggles of men and women who know how to live their lives better than any expert out of the Beltway.



The Colorado Fuel and Iron Co., or CF&I to locals, was built up by the Rockefeller family early in the 20th century. Its billowing smokestacks sustained generations of blue-collar families and delivered on their dreams. Passage into the middle class — a nice home, a car, a pickup, a boat — was possible for even a high-school dropout.

That abruptly changed with the recession and steel industry crash of the early 1980s. More than 5,000 workers were laid off in one day and unemployment topped 20%, as major employers including a meat-packing plant, dog food manufacturer and big piston maker shut down.

Even though the community has long since rebounded — February’s unemployment rate was just 4.9% — today’s jobs generally aren’t as lucrative, and that helps explain Trump’s success.

“He spoke to the angst that exists in a lot of communities in America over the decline of the middle class,” said Pueblo County Commissioner Sal Pace, a Democrat and backer of Hillary Clinton, who won Colorado.

Located in the high desert at the south end of the Front Range, Pueblo and its surrounding communities are home to about 165,000 people. Folks here are friendly — they’ll nod hello to a stranger — and the outdoorsy lifestyle is far less expensive than Denver, two hours away.

A sleek riverwalk bustles at night, and there is talk of building a minor league baseball stadium and expanding the Professional Bull Riders headquarters, to create an even bigger tourist draw.

Boosters speak hopefully of branding Pueblo and its vibrant creative community as a more affordable version of Taos, New Mexico’s famed artist colony. (They are less inclined to tout the burgeoning legal-cannabis industry, even though tax revenues have allowed the county to offer a scholarship to every graduating high school senior.)

But take away the temperate climate and distant view of the Rockies and Pueblo could easily fit into one of those Rust Belt states that delivered the White House to Trump.

Just a few blocks from the riverwalk, downtown’s tree-lined Main Street is dotted with vacant storefronts and small businesses where retail giants — Kresge, Woolworths, Montgomery Ward — once thrived. On a recent weekday morning, the only sound was the squeak of a rusty bicycle chain, laboring under the weight of its oversized rider.

The steel mill that was long the fulcrum of life here now employs between 700 and 800 workers, a mere fraction of the 12,000 at its peak.

A community that prided itself on making big things — the spine of skyscrapers, railroads and bridges — and being a brawny part of America's once-mighty steel industry has had to downsize its self-image and pare its ambitions.

“We used to attract businesses that would bring 250, 300 jobs,” said Rod Slyhoff, 62, the longtime head of the Greater Pueblo Chamber of Commerce. “Now it’s 30 or 40.”

Trump didn’t win here by much, just 390 votes out of nearly 79,000, but his victory marked the first time Republicans carried Pueblo County since President Nixon in 1972. Perhaps more important, Trump shook some voters of their old habits.

Now this kind of information is really fascinating. The pockets of Democratic resistance that flipped into Trump's column is a great reason for Republicans to seek data on these victories and make their case to the next crop of voters in 2020. This is excellent.

This report neglected to mention that Trump won in a Kentucky county which Democrats had carried for over 150 years.

Greg Smith was a Democratic activist and former precinct captain who supported Barack Obama in 2008. But over eight years he grew convinced that Democrats were more concerned with creating jobs for bureaucrats and passing along handouts than caring about people like him.



WOW! What a great statement. "Democrats love bureaucrats, and they love Democrats!" This phrase explains why the Deep State is taking on Donald Trump at every level of government.

He works 110 hours a week and still can’t afford health insurance, Smith said from behind the bar at his Greenlight Tavern, which has operated downtown since the Depression. A homeless person collapses, he said, and rescuers show up, “put him in a room, give him a sponge bath, medication, and who pays for that? Me.”

Smith, 59, voted for Trump and is glad he did.

I hope that Greg Smith re-registers with the Republican Party.

“I think he’s making a change,” Smith said, citing proposed cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency and the promise of lower taxes and fewer regulations. “The core of America is the entrepreneur, the small-business man. I think he has true concern for that.”

These kinds of stories are very invigorating. Maybe the Los Angeles Times is not as bad as I had feared.

Or at least the paper recognizes that if they want to succeed, they need to respect President Trump and ensure a balanced set of reports and articles about him.

Historians and other experts point to a singular lack of achievement in Trump’s first 100 days. Among their lengthy critique: He has not passed one major piece of legislation. He’s antagonized foreign allies. His proposed travel restrictions on Muslim-majority countries has stalled in court.

LIES. The President has signed off on 29 pieces of legislation, along with constitutional executive orders to reign in the federal government. Who cares what these so-called "experts" think of President Trump?

No one, because the vast majority of Americans simply did not care what all the arrogant, aloof, out-of-touch elitists had to say about Trump or the country in the first place. The same elites who despise Trump were the same ones praising Barack Obama for everything that he was doing.

And everything that Obama was doing was hurting average Americans.

Most spectacularly, his vow to repeal and replace President Obama’s signature healthcare law flopped in a Congress run by his own party.

Not any more. Obamacare is on the way out the door.

But Trump supporters measure his accomplishments in other ways.

He’s boosted business confidence, surveys show, and the stock market has soared. “Anyone with a 401(k) has to be delighted,” said Marla Reichert, 52, head of the Pueblo County GOP.

BAM!

He’s talked tough on terrorism and surrounded himself with military men who can turn those words into action. “It’s time to show the world we’re tired of being pushed around,” said Carson at the Chug-A-Mug.

Thank you very much. President Trump is an executive who is working hard to defend the country. That is what counts.

He’s promoted a “buy American, hire American” policy, and just wait, Trump backers say. Maybe it’s unrealistic to bring 6,000 steel-making jobs back to Pueblo, says Reichert, whose father and grandfather both worked in the mill. “But why not 4,000?” she asked. “Why not 3,000?”



Works for me.

Critics point to Trump’s frequent golf outings and taxpayer-funded trips to Florida, but that’s nothing more than sore-loser talk, the president’s defenders say. Obama golfed too, they note, and as for Trump’s costly travels, give him a break. “If he’s doing his job,” said Republican Adam Huskin, 30, a roofing contractor in upscale Pueblo West, “I don’t really care where he’s doing it from.”

Oh, and Obama never went to the golf course, right? Oh, and all those vacations -- he was working while he was resting in Hawaii, too? Uh, give me a break, liberal media!

Some see a series of flip-flops: on NATO, on the Iranian disarmament deal, on support for the Federal Reserve chair, among many. Trump backers see something else entirely: the savvy of a deal-maker.

Indeed!

Take China, for instance. Trump vowed to slap a fat tariff on the world’s most populous country but has since backed off, which strikes Tom Ready, a Pueblo West dentist, as perfectly sound.

“We’re not going to go to war with our biggest trading partner,” said Ready, 73, a Republican who showed up at the Eagle club in a skull T-shirt promoting his motorcycle club, the Uglies. “He said, ‘OK, let’s work it out.’ What’s wrong with that? I don’t call it changing policies. I call it a better way of doing things.”

Exactly. Ideologues along will not accomplish anything. They need oto put the principles into practice, or they are wasting our time.

The business of evaluating Trump on his first 100 days strikes many as arbitrary and silly, a sentiment matching the president’s pique.

Not me! Not at all. The first 100 days have been great, and I anticipate that the next 100 Days will be wonderful, too!

“What happened to the eight years Obama was in office?” demanded Republican Patti Kerkhoff. Trump was last on her list of 18 GOP candidates running in 2016, but he’s grown on her because he never seems to stop, with a tweet here and executive order there.

I agree with Patti--although even though Trump was not my first choice he was not at the bottom of my list in any way. I trusted that he could do so much more good for this country than amnesty-panderers like Lindsey Graham, John Kasich or Marco Rubio.

“Promise, promise, promise, and the only change under Obama was that things got worse,” said the 66-year-old retired schoolteacher, finishing breakfast with her church group at a small cafe near the mill. “Trump has been in office for two months, and it’s like, ‘What’s happening? How come it’s not changed already?’”

Things are changing, and more than most people can keep up with!

In the front window a sign read “Stop TPP Now,” a reference to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a proposed trade deal between the U.S. and several Asian countries. During the campaign Trump portrayed the pact as the kind of one-sided bargain that has ravaged Pueblo’s home-grown manufacturers.

Bernie Sanders supporters ended up voting for Trump in November because of his stance against TPP. This move was a huge victory for the United States and for national sovreignty in general.

He vowed to pull America out, and it’s a promise Trump has kept.

But that can’t change what’s already taken place. Today, three of Pueblo’s biggest employers are foreign-owned: a Danish corporation that manufacturers and assembles wind turbines; a Mexican cement maker; and the old CF&I, which is now part of the Russian steelmaker Evraz.




There is nothing wrong with companies that are foreign-owned. Problems emerge when these companies will not hire American workers. That's where the problems lie.

For those born or raised here the sense of loss is passed on, like some hereditary ailment.

Paul Gornick is 18, nowhere near old enough to remember CF&I’s glory days. But at a Rotary Club meeting, the high school senior — beard trimmed, hair neatly combed — spoke of the hulking smokestacks, most now idled, that loom over the cityscape like blackened gravestones.

“Every time you pass by,” he said, “it’s a reminder of what used to be.”

Gornick was too young to vote in November, but if he had, he said, he would have backed Trump.

Even Millennials and post-Millennials want to vote for Trump!

Final Reflection

The stories from Democratic voters for Trump is very inspiring. It;s good to know that Trump is paying attention to these issues and not wavering from his Americans First agenda. As Democratic and the corrupt liberal media continue to wear themselves out trying to bring down President Trump, more average Amereican

After Trump dispenses with the media frenzies and the craven politicians in Washington, I can't wait to see what he accomplishes in 2018 and then 2020. This is going to be YUGE!

Election 2016: Let's Party

I am having a lot of fun this general election season!

It didn't start out that way, though!

I was so sad after Ted Cruz dropped out in May.

Keep in mind that he was not my first choice for President. I wanted Scott Walker, the Wisconsin Governor who beat down Big Labor and won.

The fight that beat down the public sector unions did not translate to the national front.

Too bad.

Walker's incredible record of reforms and Republican resurgence in an otherwise blue state were really captivating. After all, he won statewide election three times in four years.

Surely he could have flipped other blue states.

Trump brought a brazen, brass-knuckles ruckus to the debate and the campaign. Seventeen candidates divided the vote so keenly, and Trump's strong showing in New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada sewed up his support very nicely.

Ted Cruz kept up a very strong fight. He did win Iowa, after all.



But when the junior US Senator could not win an all-out majority in his home state, everyone knew that this primary fight would be longer, more drawn-out than expected.

Ultimately, the New England and Mid-Atlantic states quashed Cruz' chances.

His brand of Southern-style, full-court conservatism without the down-to-earth populism would get Cruz nowhere.

It's too bad, but the most ardent of pro-life, pro-family, and pro-liberty activists have to work on gaining mainstream appeal without relying on ideological fervor.

Donald Trump has captured the widespread imagination of people normally uninterested in politics.

A candidate who talks about helping people to win again, who wants to Make America Great again, is going to resonate with the wide swath of voters who don't want to debate policy.

They just want to start winning again, and they want to prosper again.

I like Donald Trump.

He is resonating with me.

He is sounding more presidential.

He is taking on positions and connecting with key people who make him more trustworthy to the general electorate.

I never shied away from Trump because of his diverse, controversial remarks.

I never believed that he was a racist.



He certainly touched on issues that were not of direct concern to me. But these issues need to be faced:

1. Illegal immigration (the one issue of heated concern to me, but not in a visceral way, as there are many conservatives and immigration advocates who have lost loved ones to illegal aliens, or who have lost their jobs in competition with illegals)

2. International trade. I think that free markets do make free people. Other countries produce goods without honoring the freedom and natural integrity of individuals.

3. National Security. We need our President, our national government to care about We the People. We need our borders secure, and we need criminals to be afraid to commit crimes. We need domestic terrorists to feel terror from us!

Trump excites people.

He is brusk and bullish. We needed something like this in our country.

Today, I trust the man to do the job needed for this country.

Also ...

Look at Hillary Clinton. The woman is tanking right before our very eyes! She can't even keep up with her own crappy lies. She can't keep up with the other people around her. She no longer can depend on the corrupt and crappy marginalized media. Once considered to be an inevitable front-runner, she is now running into one snafu after the next, many of her own making.



Trump is gaining on her in swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin ...

Yes, those three states are now swing states

The usual suspects, like Florida, Ohio, and Nevada, are already Trump territory.

I have never been so excited about a Presidential candidate and this is coming from someone who had lined up behind four other contenders.

This year is all about party time. This is a time for Republicans to celebrate!

I never thought I would say this, but I am glad that Trump is the GOP nominee!

Chabot in Head-to-Head Dead Heat with Peter Agui-LIAR

This news is beyond incredible.

Paul Chabot, conservative Republican running for Congress in the San Bernardino/Redlands area, has  emerged from a bruising primarym fighting off four Democrats, and came in second place.

Big name Republicans were backing another Republican--Sean Flynn--who turned out to be another Democrat and a total plant to skew the vote and resources away from Chabot.

Agui-LIAR has resorted to the same dirty Democratic tricks, and has alienated Democrats and Republicans with his self-serving votes.

By the way, I had lots of fun trolling him with my fellow members of We the People Rising

My breakfast with Petie

Even GotNews.com Charles Johnson was caught up in the dissimulation, if you will, and was attacking Chabot for ... being an expert on key issues relating to national security.

This just in--Chabot is already running even with the Democratic challenger in the Top Two general election!

NEW POLL SHOWS 31ST CONGRESSIONAL RACE
IN A DEAD HEAT
Poll Shows 43% - 43% with Chabot having edge
with DTS Voters

SAN BERNARDINO - June 17, 2016 - Today, the Chabot for Congress campaign released a new poll showing the race for CA-31 in a dead heat at 43% to 43% with 14% undecided. The poll also shows terrorism being one of the top issues of concern to voters. San Bernardino is the largest city in this district. Chabot is a counter terrorism military officer with enterprise in the area of fighting ISIS and terrorism. In 2014 Chabot faced Democrat Pete Aguilar and narrowly lost despite being outspent 11 to 1. This upcoming matchup appears to be just as close with a slight edge to Chabot.  

Pollster Titus Bond with Remington Research said, "Data show California's 31st Congressional District is extremely competitive. The key data showing this is a Republican pickup opportunity is that non-partisan or decline to state voters favor Chabot over Aguilar by eight points."

Chabot's Chief Strategist John Thomas stated, "It is no surprise this race is neck and neck. Voters are looking for an alternative to Pete Aguilar. They are frustrated that he's failed to destroy ISIS and bring good jobs to the region."

The issue is national security. Agui-LIAR wants to take guns away from law-abiding citizens. Chabot wants to take guns away from terrorists. The difference is crystal clear.

"Paul Chabot not only knows what it takes to fight terror, he's done it in Iraq. With resources, Chabot wins in November," continued Thomas.

The polling memo and tabs are attached.

Tabs (click to view) 


Survey was conducted by Remington Research with a sample of 1091 likely General Election voters with a margin of error of +/- 3% with a 95% confidence level.



San Bernardino has the chance to take back their power and send to Washington a strong pro-life, pro-family warrior who will work with national security advisors to protect our rights, secure the borders, and safeguard the rights of the states and the people to protect and prosper themselves once again.

Go Chabot Go!

Election 2016: Making America Safe Again

One of the most crucial trusts that we lay on our government is safety and security.

We have government to secure our rights.

To protest us from enemies both foreign and domestic.

Today, our President does not stand up to evil. He does not seem to believe in good or evil at all.

Tolerance is the all-encompassing value.

If you call someone out for doing something wrong or holding values which others do not agree with--because of stubborn things like "facts"--you are labeled intolerant, bigoted, racist, or backward.

All of the name-calling means nothing when your life is threatened, when your sense of safety and security is precarious, when the evil in the world get away with their wrong-doing, and the good are punished, or not allowed to retaliate.

Donald Trump sent out the right message following the Orlando mass murder.

His eblast deserves more credit than the media offered:

Dear Arthur, 

The horrific attack that took place this past weekend reveals how weak the leadership is in our country. My thoughts and prayers go out to the many friends and families affected by the events in Orlando, Florida. I am going to be a President for all Americans, and I am going to protect and defend all Americans. We will not stand by and allow another tragedy like this to happen. We are going to make America safe again and great again for everyone.

I will tolerate his widespread "I" statements at this point. Leadership with a touch of arrogation of power is better than feckless cravenness.

As of last Tuesday, the primaries have officially ended and I received more votes than any candidate in the history of the Republican party with big wins in California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, and South Dakota. While we continue to unite the Republican Party we have started to direct our attention to November and making sure that Crooked Hillary never again steps foot in the White House.

"We will continue to unite ...". Indeed, Donald Trump has his work cut out for himself. He has cut so many other candidates, sometimes in despicable ways.


Then again, tough times are demanding tough measures. Instead of third-party bid or "NeverTrump" Trumpertantrums, it's time for voters of all ideological stances to recognize that confrontational executive power is needed under law, and in the face of such desecrating wickedness.

On Thursday we hosted members of the Trump Victory Fund which will help us win in November by raising funds for the campaign and Republicans down ballot to ensure that we have the support we need from Republicans everywhere.

Now he's talking like a team player. Bernie Sanders understood that his campaign is not just about himself, but about governors, U.S. Senators, and state officials. Local officials can ride his wave, or crush under his warp.

On Friday we spoke with faith leaders in Washington D.C. at the “Faith & Freedom Coalition’s 2016 ‘Road To Majority’ Policy Conference.” We discussed the sanctity of life and protecting religious liberty. Afterwards we left DC, and held a massive rally in Richmond, VA, working to garner support in a key battleground state.

There will be another communication with faith leaders in the next week. He needs to heed the concerns of the God-fearing faithful. We are a nation under God, or a nation gone under.

On Saturday, we held rallies in Tampa and Pittsburgh to thousands of supporters!

He is focusing on swing states. Excellent. Some conservative pundits believe that this election will come down to the Keystone state, which has not gone Republican since 1988. The worker-bent of the Trump campaign may succeed in flipping states in the Rust Belt long resistant to the GOP message.

Today, I will be delivering a major speech from Manchester, New Hampshire, devoted to addressing the serious threats facing all Americans, national security and my solutions for making this country safe again.

Public safety and national security--those two issues have often swayed liberal-leaning voters to the Republican Party, even if they vote for Democratic candidates down-ticket. They want a clear-cut leader who recognizes the enemy and fights to win.

Tomorrow, we will be hosting a campaign rally in Greensboro, NC which will kick off a week long campaign swing through America!

Whether Republicans like it or not, North Carolina is turning into a wary swing-state. We cannot afford for the Democratic Party to peel away key states in the South.

Thank you again for your support.
