Regarding the recent commentary, “Trump Sagging in Pa.?” have you ever seen President Trump get a positive headline? If Trump cured cancer, the headline would read, “Trump puts Cancer Doctors and Chemotherapy Technicians Out of Business!”

What that man has accomplished in the last four years, in spite of constant harassment and very little bipartisan cooperation, is nothing short of miraculous — more than George W. Bush and Barrack Obama in 16 years WITH bipartisan cooperation.

Perhaps some voters will be happier with the socialist agenda of 70% tax rates, government-run healthcare (deceptively marketed as “Medicare for All”), free college (that, of course, is not free) and a government attack on all buildings, cars, trucks, planes, businesses and industry that rely on fossil-fuel energy (end of fracking).

The Green New Deal is nothing but a Trojan horse for socialism and government control of your life. Add to that open borders and more drugs from Mexico, the military taking the same hit it did under Obama/Joe Biden and VA hospitals and our veterans again being ignored.

Do voters really understand what socialism is? It is government control over production and distribution of goods and services so everyone is equal. Some might say, “Well, look how well it works in some foreign countries.”

Where? Venezuela or Cuba? (Both are bankrupt and in free fall.) Or maybe Norway, Sweden, Denmark or, to a lesser degree, the UK? Have you ever noticed, however, when Europeans get in real trouble (like war) the good old capitalistic USA needs to pull their chestnuts out of the fire.

Bigger and bigger government just gets in the way of entrepreneurs and capitalism. If more of the “swamp” could be drained, the country would be headed in the right direction. “Sagging”? Maybe in Philadelphia, but the balance of Pennsylvania looks TRUMPY.

Lastly, please do not forget our Second Amendment. This will really be my most important vote in 63 years (back in the old days you had to be 21).
