So discouraged...

It’s pretty sad when your local politicians have to run as democrats in order to win! Once they are in... its back to republican antics. This is the keep Republicans in office in my town.

1. What town?

3. Small rural town not far from Lordstown

Ohio. What’s more sad... is it’s his brother running against him in order to keep a Republican in office.
Just so tired of the dirty tricks!

5. It's really that bad

the brother who has held this position for years showed up in the paper let’s say under some scrutiny for some political privileges... and had to pay out what he owed the city. So now the brother is running who also happens to be the retired chief of police.

6. "Dirty tricks". Republicans approach politics as a street fight where there are no dirty tricks.

Democrats can be at a disadvantage because they expect political Marquess of Queensberry rules and so they scream "foul" when they get an eye gouge. That makes Republicans laugh and more determined to do what it takes to win.

7. These are the people

who still defend trump!

8. right

9. That's the Tulsi Gabbard campaign model

Her father, an ardent anti-LGBT advocate, switched to run as a Democrat in local politics. He has his daughter trying it on the national level.

Will spend greater time getting people to vote this year!
