She deserves our support!
Another bit of info about Peggy:
You might imagine my shock at hearing that I was described as just another Harley-riding redneck Trumper by a supporter of my #NeverTrump US Senate primary opponent. Talk about a low information voter—this dude aint got a clue.
While its true that I make no bones about my support of our great president, Donald Trump, and I do love to ride my (American made, American proud) Harley, Im not sure I fit the commonly understood definition of a redneck.
As an outspoken Trump supporting black conservative running against Democrat icon Dick Durbin, Ive been called many names that center around color, but that color wasnt red. Im not offended for being called a redneckIm honored.
Where I come from, that term refers to someone who works outside with their hands and gets a sunburn right where that white collar would be—if they wore one. That kind of real work is done by so many who support our President
When the Establishment country club Republicans disparage the new working-class Republicans won over by Donald Trump, they are trying to minimize the importance of good people like farmers, mechanics, miners, construction workers, factory workers, and so many others.
Those same churchgoing, hardworking, patriotic, and proud American car, truck, or bike-owning union members who live in states like Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania are the reason we have a great Commander-in-Chief today.

Illinois
Mother Hubbard
If elected, Miss Hubbard would be the first Black GOP lady Senator. Alas, she’s up against the mega-corrupt Illinois Combine.
She sounds great. Unfortunately the Illinois voters will keep sending Durbin to the Senate until he dies.
She could tip the South Side of Chicago, on account of pigmentation AND Trump’s record of delivering for blacks. She’s got a fighting chance against the machine, but not a good one.
Sadly,Illinois is lost...just as is the case with Kalifornia,New York,Massachusetts,Maryland and a few others.
Unfortunately the Chicago News media is deep in the tank for Turbin Durbin. He receives free publicity on almost a nightly basis. Durbin is on the news more than Jesse Jackson and never with anything positive - it is always an attack on President Trump or GOP Senators.
Great story! I will pass it along to friends in Illinois.
Sweet background. I’ll send her some $
