I’m also low this morning. Paul Ryyan was a wake up call that the majority of people are checked out and want the status quo. That plus the all-out attack from the establishment and media I don’t see how Trump pulls it out.

The other day, someone here pointed out that Clinton vs. Trump is merely a proxy war. The real war is the media vs. the American people.

What is remarkable is that just a week before Election Day, the contest was a dead heat. "People think of the 1980 election as this huge landslide for Reagan, which in terms of the numbers, it was," remembers journalist Elizabeth Drew. "But I saw the numbers on the Friday before the election -- and both sides will tell you this -- it was a tie."

Carter talked about an age of limits,

Reagan preached a gospel of unlimited optimism. "People, myself included, underestimated Reagan, " admits longtime Democrat and civil rights activist Roger Wilkins. "Those of us who were not Californians had not really seen him develop his political skills in Sacramento. Reagan was, for all his limitations, a very formidable fellow, [and he was] the combination of his beliefs, which were not numerous but they were clear,

and his acting skills really made people sit up and say, 'This guy means and believes what he's saying.'"---"The Election of 1980"-KET

Is it only me who sees they could have been talking about Donald Trump?

Can’t believe Lyin Ryan won. Being a Wisconsinite I am extremely disappointed. This should be a wake up call to all. Get out and do all you can to support Trump. Do whatever you can no matter how small it may seem.

If you are able...

Go Door to Door
Make Phone Calls
Volunteer at a Trump Campaign Office
Donate To Trump
Donate To FR (we need sites like this more than ever!)
Talk with Friends and Family (yea, even the dems)
Talk Him Up on Social Media - Point Out Her Flaws
Attend Trump and Pence Rallies
Put Out a Yard Sign
Wear you MAGA Hat or Shirt
Become a Poll Watcher

Sorry to sound Cliché, But this is the most important election of our lifetimes. This is the one that will make or break the United States of America.

Lets all work together to Make America Great Again!!

My only consolation IF Trump doesn’t win is that liberal spending policies are unsustainable so economic collapse is inevitable. That will be the wake up call for many. Then we can revolt and rebuild, after much unnecessary suffering.
