A woman, interviewed by an NBC reporter, said of
Conor Lamb, “He is every mother’s dream.”
Yesterday, the voters of Pennsylvania’s 18th
congressional district, which voted for Trump by 20 percentage points, got the
opportunity to vote for him again.
Republican, Rick Saccone, had advertised himself
as being “Trump before Trump was Trump.” The voters could not have been
presented with a more clear-cut choice.
They could cast a vote for every mother’s dream or
they could cast a vote for Rosemary’s baby.
So, while we are still living our own Nightmare on
Elm Street, our first new hero has arrived on the scene to save the day. There
will be others. They were carefully selected, or at least blessed, by party leaders,
not because they fit a national profile, but because they fit the citizens of
their districts. A lot of them, men and women, have military backgrounds, some
with combat experience. Not an easy task to brand them as soft-on-crime,
soft-on-defense, Nancy Pelosi Liberals.
On election eve, Rick Saccone, fearing a loss,
said the Democratic Party was being energized by “hatred for our country, God,
and our president.”
Here are some of the anti-American, God-hating
qualities exhibited by Conor Lamb and soon to be inflicted on the nation by some
of the mid-term candidates:
(You might try saying each word aloud, while
conjuring an image of Donald Trump.)
Intelligence
Integrity
Honesty
Humility
Discipline
Modesty
For sure, not every Democratic candidate will be
every mother’s dream. Good, because that might be rather boring. I think that most
of them will be decent human beings. Democrat, Republican, Liberal,
Progressive, Moderate, Conservative, I believe they will help set a new tone.
Now, with another deep red district turning blue, we
can wait for more incumbent Republicans to announce their decisions not to run
for re-election. They of course have decided to spend more time with their
families. Their decisions will have nothing to do with the writing on the wall
– not to be confused with Trump’s wall with Mexico.
My two-minute buzzer just went off.
