Republican turnout was low. The all knowing media has declared this to be a reaction to Trump, an indication that middle American has become disenchanted with the president.
But Balderson didn’t run as a Trump supporter, he ran as a “moderate” who took the advice of John Kasich, a RINO turncoat.
It’s quite possible the “analysts” are wrong. It’s quite possible Balderson wasn’t conservative enough. Time will tell.
Who's swallowing the propaganda of the leftwing media and lying RINO @$$hole Kasich.
I went to Balderson's election website (baldersonforcongress.com) and on the "Issues" page found only words of support for Trump:
"Build the Wall & Stop Illegal Immigration"While I found he mentioned Kasich only once - in words of opposition:"Troy Balderson will work with President Trump to build the wall and protect Ohio’s working class from illegal immigration. He opposes sanctuary cities, driver’s licenses and in-state tuition for illegals, and will fight alongside President Trump to deport those here illegally."
"Supporting President Trump"
"Troy Balderson voted for Donald Trump and is a strong supporter of his administration. He will work with the president to drain the swamp and fight unfair trade practices hurting Ohio businesses and families."
"Healthcare""Troy Balderson believes we must repeal and replace Obamacare once and for all. He has consistently voted to keep Obamacare out of Ohio, opposing Governor Kasich’s efforts to bring it to the state. DC Republicans ran on repealing Obamacare, and it’s time they make true on their word."
Balderson may be a "moderate" - but he ran as a Trump supporter who do NOT take Kasich's advice.
