I v**ed for Donald Trump in the 2016 e******n. But it wasn't "My God, where has this guy been - he's the perfect candidate to turn things around in America" at the beginning. In all honesty it was my way of giving the middle finger to Washington DC and the federal government establishment. You know - those wonderful folks who told us they were running for office because they saw what we needed and knew how to make it happen. Then after e******n day they introduced themselves to the lobbyists and started feeding at the trough of graft and corruption like so many of their peers. They built powerful, well-funded organizations that helped to insure they were reelected time and again and faced no accountability to the people who v**ed for them.

And then a series of unexpected things happened. He clawed his way through the primaries, surviving Jeb and Ted and Marco. Then he beat Hillary Clinton in the face of withering mainstream media h**e and despite hundreds of polls that would have discouraged lesser men. Then, and this was the real shocker, he actually was able to accomplish much of what he told us he would. And that was in the face of a vehemently biased press, an activist Hollywood mob, a lock-step bunch of Democrats, and many establishment Republicans who never wanted President Trump to be elected, much less succeed - since it would rock their safe little worlds they'd spent so much effort putting together.

And so we're here now (pre-midterms), getting ready to see whether or not we can reinforce his ability to get Congress to actually pass some decent legislation and the legions of h**e, who were already at 11 on the dial are red-lining their efforts to derail this President. Despite cries of "there's no prejudice in the news media - we're not F**e News!", over 120 newspapers will begin editorially attacking the President on 16 August. Many in the media and sports entertainment world are going non-stop against him. Some lead demonstrations, while others just need an open mike to toss their verbal grenades.

Think about what is actually going on for a minute. They are convinced that they just need to be a little louder, a little more destructive, a little more "in your face" with their h**e. And he's still there. And he's still trying to push through the things he promised us that he would. And he's made mistakes. But be honest. If you faced the $#!+ storm he faces every day - would your performance be impeccable? I know mine wouldn't be close.

So I said all that to say this - it all started for me thinking "if we could just throw a wrench into the workings of that mess that is our government, maybe they'd understand just how much we thought they'd been failing us". And now I'm thankful that what may have started out as a joke to many (remember Seth Meyers saying "Donald Trump said that he was running for president as a Republican. That's funny, because I thought he was running as a joke.") has gotten to this point.

I think it's about time the rest of us grabbed hold of the rope and started pulling in the same direction so that we could not only keep our majorities in both houses, but maybe add a few seats in each of them. I think the President has earned it.

Yes I agree with you. It is amazing that President Trump has been able to accomplish so much for the
country with so many, even in his own party working against him. What really pisses me off is all the
holdovers from Obama in the FBI and the DOJ who are not working for the benefit of this country but
are doing their best to harm this country and blame it on President Trump. It is evident to me that the
Deep State is involved in a C**p, no matter how much harm is done to the country just so they can
blame President Trump for anything negative.

Hope and pray - yes, but don't forget to put your back into it. Find someone of like mind who for wh**ever reason may not make it to the polls and make sure they do!

Excellent post - I agree 100%. We threw a huge wrench in 2016, one that few saw coming. Those same people who v**ed for Trump are still out there and are even more enraged now than they were before Trump was elected. I hope conservatives know that if they never v**ed before, now is the time they need to make the effort to v**e in November and again in 2020. This is the time to say "I gotta v**e this time - it's important this time."

You are spot on. At every turn, there are swamp rats clogging up the wheels of progress, but if he's allowed to, President Trump will replace more and more of them. It's going to take time, but it took President Obama 2 terms to get all his minions in place. We need to kick butt in the mid-terms and KAGA in 2020!

Probably wouldn't have bet, but on that night, as it became clearer and clearer that Trump was going to win, I actually had the thought "I wish I had bet on this"!!!
