Why Vote Republican?
Why Vote Democrat?
Following is a list of President Trump’s accomplishments since he took office in January 2016. If Donald Trump were not President, none of this would have happened. And if he did not have a Republican Congress working with him, much of this would not have been possible. Consider all of this before you vote in the midterm elections.

If you have not heard of all of these accomplishments, that is because the mainstream media’s coverage of President Trump has been 91% negative. They focus on the Trump/ Russian collusion hoax, Stormy Daniels, and any other scandal they can make up or on any of Trump’s comments they can twist into something negative, so as not to have to report about all of his achievements.
Meanwhile, former President Obama is trying to take credit for all of the good economic news reflected in the preceding list. But that is disingenuous, to say the least. It was the strength of the American capitalistic system that enabled the economy to rebound after the economic meltdown of 2018. It had nothing to do with Obama’s policies.
As Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway put it, “He [Obama] didn’t build that economy. President Trump did, and everybody knows it.”
In fact, Obama’s policies kept the rebound from the recession from happening quicker and being more robust. It was the slowest recovery from a recession since the Great Depression due to his unwise policies. Obama’s policies then kept the economy in a stagnate state, never exceeding 2% economic growth for any year of his presidency.
Things would have been even worse under Obama if the Federal Reserve Bank (aka, “the Fed”) wasn’t propping up the economy by lowering and keeping interested rates at 0% throughout Obama’s presidency. But once Trump took office, the Fed began raising interest rates, which have kept the economy from booming even more that it is. In fact, those raised rates are one reason the economy “only” grew by 3.5% in 3Q, down from the 4.2% in 2Q.
Meanwhile, Obama himself declared that manufacturing jobs “were never coming back” during the 2016 election. And they would not have under his policies. But thanks to Trump’s polices, they are coming back with a roar, as is the economy in general.
But if Democrats take control of Congress and later the Presidency, all of this good economic news and much else in this list of Trump’s accomplishments could be undone. That is why I support Trump and will vote for him again in 2020 and for Republicans this year.
But what will Democrats do if they take control of Congress in the midterm election this year and of the presidency in 2020? Following is what they have promised or would be logical consequences of their stated policies and their practices we have seen in recent weeks.
1. Impeach President Donald Trump
2. Investigate and impeach Justice Brett Kavanaugh
3. Tear the country more apart with these impeachments
4. Rescind the tax cuts, slowing down economic growth
5. Double-down on Obamacare
6. Medicare for all, at a cost of $32 trillion over ten years
7. Explode the national debt
8. Open borders
9. Allow caravans of illegal immigrants to enter US unfettered
10. Abolish ICE (Immigrations and Customs Enforcement)
11. Illegal aliens allowed to vote, receive government freebies
12. MS 13 gang members and drugs flowing freely into the USA
13. Loss of the rule of law, right to due process, and the presumption of innocence
14. Guilty by accusation without collaboration
15. Character assassinations
16. Identity politics
17. Mob rule
18. Police state tactics
19. Socialism
20. Gun confiscation
21. Reduced religious freedom
22. Stopping of the investigations into the illegal activities of the deep state, so that no one will ever be prosecuted
As a lifelong Democrat close to me said to me after the raucous atmosphere outside the Kavanaugh swearing in ceremony put it, “Why would anyone vote for a Democrat?”

The First Impeachment of Donald J. Trump
This three-volume set covers the impeachment of Donald J. Trump that occurred over the fall of 2019 to the winter of 2020. It was yet one more attempt to oust the President from office by Democrats, who never accepted he won in 2016. A complaint about a phone call between President Trump and Ukraine President Zelensky led to an impeachment inquiry to begin in early September 2019. Along the way, the corruption of Joe Biden that Trump wanted investigated and which led to the impeachment inquiry is discussed.
