Hip Hip Hooray!!!
Not only did our guy win, but Trump was the Kingmaker. He can (and did) brag about that. This will, or should, have the effect of getting the Repub party "politicians" in line behind him.
A great day.

I was seeing some discussion on Tweeeter this morning, concerning voter turnout in Ohio-12, where Troy Balderson squeaked by with a victory.
Specifically, it was stated that democrat voter turnout was 87%, which far exceeds even Presidential election turnout. Makes me wonder if some chicanery took place that might have pushed the Dem vote unusually high. Something like backroom ballot marking, or bused-in college students from nearby Ohio State posing as voters.
I hope someone was watching closely and has evidence if any wrong-doing took place. I’m hearing that Balderson was somewhat of a weak candidate, but that huge democrat turnout raises a flag or two.
