Why?
President Trump delivers results, and that’s what people want. He keeps promises, and that’s what people want. He defends our families, our people, and our nation. That’s what people want. People simply are not buying the socialist pond scum the Democrats are trying to sell. People want more jobs, not fewer jobs. They want lower taxes, not higher taxes. They want to make their own choices, not have the government run their lives. That’s why the Democrats’ booth was empty.
Looking around the crowd at the Washington County (Pa.) Agricultural Fair, the uniform of the day was work boots, jeans, tee-shirts, and ball caps. Those who were not sporting Trump gear were obviously well familiar with John Deere, Kubota, a number of seed companies, Remington, Winchester, the NRA, and John 3:16.
The parking lot was full of pickup trucks because these are working people. They drive America. This is Trump country now.
They are directly impacted by what people at all levels of government do — not in a theoretical or philosophical way, but in a very real way. Government policy and action are, to them, their jobs and their families’ security. They work hard, and they expect other people to do the same. They are not looking for handouts or free stuff. They are looking for the opportunity to thrive because they earn it. Many have fought for their country or have relatives who have, and they do not react well to those who disrespect this great nation. They keep their promises and expect the people they elect to do the same. Most importantly, these people vote.
In 2016, the people of Washington County turned out in huge numbers and overwhelmingly voted for President Trump because they like what he promised and believed he would deliver on those promises. The president has delivered on his promises, and people are measurably better off: more people have better jobs; they are more secure; the economy is doing well; and, despite constant Democratic obstruction, progress is being made in many other areas.
The 2019 Washington County Fair is an early poll on how people are reacting to what the president has delivered and how they intend to vote in 2020. The Washington County Fair Poll says President Trump will carry Washington County by a huge majority; what we see here will also be true in many other areas of Pennsylvania. The president will carry Pennsylvania handily. I suspect that the same will be true in many other states.
