The Washington Examiner reports:
President Trump predicted Wednesday that the congressional candidates he campaigns for and endorses will keeping winning, most of the time. Trump campaigned for Republican House candidate Troy Balderson in Ohio ahead of Tuesday’s special election, and credited his turnaround to the rally he held for the newcomer. He also took another jab at the “fake news” that he said falsely claims that Democrats are the clear favorites to win.
The Republicans have now won 8 out of 9 House Seats, yet if you listen to the Fake News Media you would think we are being clobbered. Why can’t they play it straight, so unfair to the Republican Party and in particular, your favorite President!

As long as I campaign and/or support Senate and House candidates (within reason), they will win! I LOVE the people, & they certainly seem to like the job I’m doing. If I find the time, in between China, Iran, the Economy and much more, which I must, we will have a giant Red Wave!
