They said I was toast

Without you, Donald Trump and his DC Republican buddies would’ve steamrolled over this district and pocketed this swing seat for their reclaimed House Majority. John, At the beginning of this year, there were many political pundits and talking heads who thought I was toast. They sai…

[Nate Silver] Pennsylvania could decide the election

Political pundit and data wizard Nate Silver is predicting the presidential election will come down to Pennsylvania. In fact, Pennsylvania is 3 times more likely than any other state to be THE state that decides the election. John, I’ll get straight to the point: We can’t rest up fo…
