Last night there was a special Congressional election in Pennsylvania. Trump won this district by 22 points in 2016. In a very close election, it appears that the Democratic candidate has won the election.

A few days ago Trump made a lackluster effort to support the Republican candidate by holding a rally. Maybe his failure was based on the fact that the rally was 99 percent about him and only one percent about Rick Saccone.

If Conor Lamb is victorious, House Republicans must face the truth; they may lose control in the November election.

Before Trump’s illegitimate election, most Republicans denounced his candidacy. After November 8, 2018, they all bowed to their fuhrer. Their party became the priority. In November they may suffer from their own hypocrisy. Trump has always been a failure and an embarrassment, but as the illegitimate president of our nation, he is now a ‘poison pill’ for GOP politicians.

This is proof that Republicans are ignorant. They refuse to accept the fact that Trump is the worst and least popular president in American history.

I am very pleased in a slightly perverse way. Dean Heller is the senior senator from my state of Nevada. He is one of eight Republican senators who face reelection in November. He has proven himself to be a lackey for this failed president. He has sacrificed what little integrity he once had to serve the most immoral man in the world. In the 2016 election Nevada turned blue. Our electoral votes went to Hillary Clinton, and we elected a Democrat to the senate who is the first Hispanic woman ever to achieve that goal.

Republicans have proven two things in the last 13 months and 21 days; they are unable to govern, and they place their party ahead of the American people. They rule; they fail to serve.

Elections in Virginia, Alabama, and Pennsylvania are proof that not only is Trump a failure, Independents and Democrats are going to the polls in record numbers. We will no longer accept the Republican Party’s war on the working class, women, and minorities. Time to take our country back. The second American revolution has begun and it is justified and it is glorious.
