Preface: A lot of students did take the bait and participated in the school walk-outs.....but a lot more had the discernment....and in some cases the guts to fight the peer pressure......to stay in school! I wonder what the policies would be from a school board where the students wanted to walk out in protest of God being taken out of their classrooms?
I reside only a few miles away from the congressional district that Conor Lamb made national headlines in by winning (apparently) the special election two days ago. If the new Pennsylvania congressional districts survive challenges then Lamb would most likely serve a few months in congress in one district and then have to run for reelection in this newly formed district.....where he lives. If so he would have to run (should he would win the Democrat primary) against our current congressman.....Keith Rothfus....in our new district! Many of those who voted on Tuesday for Lamb would then be in a new district...and Lamb would not be their congressman or candidate. How weird is that!
My advice for Keith Rothfus would be to run on his own merit and his own principles.....and not as a 'wingman' for President Trump whose rallies are becoming more ridiculous as time goes on. These rallies may be a fun night out for some but for an increasing number of us who not only voted for Donald Trump on November 8, 2016 but celebrated the next day.....and who have not regretted that particular vote for a moment....to us these rallies are coming to be seen as nothing more than an ostentatious re-presenting of words that are becoming more meaningless each and every day.
Donald Trump is in the process of forming a new base. If Congressman Rothfus wants to be part of that new base then that's his prerogative.....indeed it may be his best chance to keep his seat....but then as President Trump continues to morph and transform himself.....and if there is anything left of the old conservative movement that fought the establishment for a long time....then running a principled campaign for reelection......which is where we all began.....would be to be his own person......and let others just follow the tweets.
