The Coming Red Wave              By Andy Peth

​Let me be the first to say this to my fellow Republicans:  If we can’t win this year, then we can’t win…ever.  Not since the '80's have I seen the stars so aligned, at least not for our side.  2020 is shaping up to be a massive red wave.
 
MASSIVE.
              
Remember 2018?  A perfect blue storm, 2018 became just as the signs said it would—a year when Democrats couldn’t lose.  It was inevitable.  Sweeping all contested districts, this blue wave showed no mercy, regardless of strategies used by GOP leaders.  Whatever we tried, we were going to get killed. 
 
  • Some GOP leaders emphasized ground game—more walking neighborhoods, more calls, more yard signs, more sign-waving, more, more, more--and they got killed. 
  • Others emphasized ads and online marketing--and got killed. 
  • Some candidates distanced themselves from Trump--and got killed. 
  • Others embraced Trump—and unless they were in highly protected districts, they got killed.
  • Some candidates and leaders played to the base--and got killed.
  • Others moderated--and got killed.
 
In the aftermath, Republicans blamed each other, but it was like blaming people for getting wet in a hurricane.  There was no point.  2018 was exactly what it was predicted to be—a midterm pummeling, made worse by numerous, unresolved concerns surrounding our President.
 
Those concerns are gone now.  Way gone.  I can’t even count the disadvantages then which are advantages now, but here are a few:
 
  • The Economy - Then:  Trump’s economic plan was in its infancy.  Now:  We’re booming.
 
  • Russian Collusion - Then:  A major concern.  Now:  A national joke.  Mueller’s meltdown on Capitol Hill was one for the ages.
 
  • Impeachment - Then:  Gaining steam, with many Americans wondering how Trump could stay in office.  Now:  Totally derailed, being grossly unfair from the start.  Americans greeted it with laughter, yawns, and disgust.
 
  • Deep State - Then:  Held in high regard, with operatives commanding intel agencies casting deep doubts on Trump.  Now:  The Durham Report will unveil spying, lying, and subterfuge by those intel “leaders.”  It’s our turn, baby.
 
  • ISIS - Then:  Still a big concern.  Now:  ISIS is gone, having lost all its territory.
 
  • Trade Deals - Then:  Deemed the impossible dreams of a rookie President.  Now:  Massive Pro-USA deals with Mexico, Canada, China, and Japan…are actually happening.
 
  • Trump’s Approval - Then:  Two years ago, Gallop had Trump’s approval rating about 20% below his disapproval rating.  Now:  Approval and disapproval are within a few points either way.
 
Guys, we’re on a roll, and I haven’t even mentioned the best part:  Bernie Sanders.  Allow me some time to address Democrats, okay?
 
Dems, you’re on your way to running a Socialist candidate during a Capitalist boom.  Did you hear me?   YOU’RE CLOSE TO RUNNING A SOCIALIST DURING A CAPITALIST BOOM.  That’s like telling people of Pennsylvania—whose economy has been rescued by fracking—that you’re going to ban fracking!
 
Oh, wait, Bernie’s saying that, too…
 
Let me be the first to provide official RNC comment:  BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
 
My goodness, Bernie doesn’t even roll out the lie of this being Obama’s economy…because Bernie wants us to believe we’re unhappy!  HE ACTUALLY WANTS US TO BELIEVE WE’RE UNHAPPY!  And then there are Bernie’s supporters…OMG.  These halfwit thugs are notoriously enraged Unabomber types—the kind who even make Greta Thunberg avoid eye contact and slink to the other side of the elevator.
 
My goodness, imagine having a Bernie Bro at your door: 
 
Bro:  “Hey there, Mr. or Mrs. Home Owner dude!  Do you feel guilty for owning property?  Of course you do!  Wouldn’t you rather pay higher taxes so undocumented immigrants can get free healthcare?  And free college?  All from a government that disarms you and takes away private health plans?  Well hey, who wouldn’t want that!  Here, just take this flyer, titled, ‘We’ll be like Denmark, not Cuba or Venezuela!’  It’ll walk you through everything I can’t, ‘cuz like, I’m pretty stoned right now!”
 
“What?  Why do I like The Bern?  ‘Cuz my college advisor told me I finally got a degree in something I guess, and if you don’t pay for it, I gotta get a job!  Vicious cycle, man, vicious cycle…say, before I go, can I bum a few bucks for a ride home?”
 
Of course, these types are preferable to Bernie supporters who just protest everything while screaming in piercing tones—tones only heard by dogs and CNN analysts. 
 
I exaggerate, but do you expect Bernie’s groupies to persuade anyone outside their base?  Really? 

​Trump voters, no matter how unfairly stigmatized as conspiracy buff hayseeds, are normals.  By opposing late-term abortions, gun confiscation, open borders, and unfair trade deals, Trump voters hold popular positions.  You don’t like illegal immigrants getting free stuff?  Neither do Trump voters.  You don’t want to ban fracking after it’s made us energy independent?  Neither do Trump voters.  You don’t want biological boys in girls’ locker rooms?  For goodness’ sake, you’re a Trump voter!
 
Never before have Democrats completely given us the middle, and I guess we can thank AOC and her backup trio, The Tourettes.  They’ve wreaked havoc.  Openly despising anything American, AOC’s Democrats are the Party of Marxism, trans-bathrooms, infanticide, disarming the innocent, protecting the guilty, antisemitism, climate radicalism, and labeling every dissenting voice as “racist.”
 
Just look at the loons cheering for Bernie—do you see any normals in that crowd?  Any?  Bernie’s insaniacs irritate voters right into our arms, and we aren’t even campaigning yet!  My goodness, everything was already breaking our way with the economy, trade deals, acquittal, more acquittal, terrorists exploding, etc.—and things were only looking better with a looming Durham Report.  But now Democrats are on the brink of ‘Berning” every bridge between them and the real world!
 
2018 was a Blue Wave, but 2020 is shaping into a bigger Red Wave.  This is it, my friends.  This is the one we’ve been waiting for—the Big Kahuna.  Grab your surfboard.  Ride the wave while Democrat candidates drown beneath you.  Oh, and remember to practice your evil laugh. 

I certainly will.
 
Just don’t get complacent, okay?  Work hard, play like you’re losing, and win every voter you can.  There’s too much at stake.  Roar with confidence, but don't stumble with overconfidence, for you can't ride a wave from your couch.  Get in action!  Donate, win a friend (or three), volunteer, unite, enjoy the success with campaigns you've helped...ride that wave!

And meanwhile, practice your evil laugh discreetly—at home alone, in a dark room, with a mirror and one small light casting an eerie glow on your face.  

​I certainly will.
 
But I’ll say it once more, without hesitation:  If we can’t win this year, then we can’t win…ever.
 
It seems there’s no stopping The Coming Red Wave.

I Love It When Trump Doesn’t Act Like Me        By Andy Peth

Trump shocked everyone at the National Prayer Breakfast.
 
Sure, we knew what had transpired.  Impeachment.  Acquittal.  Betrayal ala Mitt, with a side of religious posturing at its most sickening.  And of course, there was Nancy’s infamous tearing of the speech.
 
A full-fledged coup had failed, and it hadn’t even started with those brazenly one-sided House hearings.  Sparked by deep state holdovers, this coup was hatched before Trump ever took office.  You know the names: Strzok, Page, Comey, Brennan, Vindman, Sondland—too many to list—all plotting with an even wider group of deep state operatives toward one goal:
 
Destroy Donald Trump. 
 
Poised to pounce, these soulless creatures circled like demons in a lake of fire.  They’d find something, anything, or just make it up.  Trump had been down that road (fake dossier, anyone?), but this had gotten worse.  Much worse.  This was countless people on whom Trump depended, whispering in hallways and meeting at restaurants—while acting respectful to his face.
 
And it was all aided by those three big influencers of public thought—the media, academia, and the entertainment industry.  Over three years, wherever Trump turned, the nation’s most powerful voices told all Americans he deserved this.  Trump deserved to be spied upon—in fact, it wasn’t even spying, right?  It was just surveilling him without his knowledge.  Trump deserved House hearings where the chief prosecutor was also the judge, with 17 witnesses offered against him while none were allowed in his favor.  Hey, that’s perfectly normal!  In fact, Trump deserved anything ever done to him, as everyone from children to the elderly were programmed with one message: There’s no bad way to take down a dictator.
 
This was evil.  Pure, absolute, and incredibly powerful…evil.
 
And now, having survived the conspiracy, Trump stood up at a prayer breakfast.  Nancy Pelosi was there—perhaps tearing tickets.  There were religious leaders, government officials, and of course, the all-seeing media.  The stage was set.
 
Trump held nothing back.  Tapping all his frustration—all his pain—Trump let it out at the “wrong” time.  He gushed about the horrors of what his family endured.  He called out tormenters for doing what they knew was wrong.  He even humiliated Mitt and Nancy for hiding wicked actions behind religious rhetoric.  Pelosi claims she prays for Trump.  He boldly said she doesn’t. 
 
(By the way, Nancy, telling God to make Trump act more like you want him to…isn’t praying for Trump.  It’s praying at him.  Just an FYI…)
 
Anyway, Trump’s speech was wholly undignified.  It was bad politics.  It was the opposite of everything I would do in his shoes.  And I loved every minute of it.
 
 
 
No, Trump didn’t do what I’d do.  Were I in his shoes, I’d show what many cowards call, “class.”   I’d downplay rivalries.  Oozing unity, I’d score political points.  I’d show no pain, no pettiness, and no anger.  I’d be..sigh…presidential.
 
And I would hate it.
 
Because let’s be honest here.  Most of us have dealt with “deep state operatives,” whether at jobs, in our families, at school, in politics, or yes, even in churches.  We know the betrayal.  We’ve felt the pain.  And while we generally hold our tongues to keep safe, we wish we could do…exactly what Trump did.  Yes, publicly.  Angrily.  In the wrong settings, at the wrong times, and with no restraint whatsoever.
 
Because really, that’s what these monsters deserve.  They deserve the shocking public treatment Jesus gave Pharisees, not the frightened restraint we use to survive.  They deserve people standing up at meetings and calling out their corruption.  They deserve to feel the pain they cause others.
 
They deserve this.  But they never get it.  Not until now.
 
In a way, Trump spoke for all of us at that prayer breakfast.  Have you fallen victim to plotting and scheming?  Then Trump spoke for you.  Have you been betrayed?  Then Trump spoke for you.  Have you felt helpless, hopeless, overrun by backroom maneuvers, and damaged by influential liars?  Then my friend, Trump most certainly spoke for you.
 
Trump lost some votes at the National Prayer Breakfast.  He was emotional.  Hurt.  Blunt.  Unpresidential.  Part of me winced at his self-inflicted setback, thinking, “No!  Don’t give back the big gains you’ve made over the past week!”
 
But a larger part of me celebrated, for Trump didn’t just get things off his chest.  He got things off all our chests.  Trump wasn’t just saying “You shouldn’t treat me this way.”  He was saying, “No one should treat anyone this way!”  As monsters heard Trump’s words, his message was crystal clear.  Let me paraphrase: 
 
“Ruthless people should never be safe.  You don’t like being called out at a prayer breakfast?  Well, here’s a novel idea: DON’T HURT PEOPLE YOU’LL SEE AT PRAYER BREAKFASTS!”
 
Nope, I wouldn’t have done what Trump did.  Not in a million years.  I’m too presidential to be a good president.    
 
But thankfully, Trump is too good a president to be presidential.  Allowing no safe spaces for evildoers, he’ll even disrupt a prayer breakfast.  So leave your dignity at the door, ‘kay?  Look around you.  Terrorists are finally dying.  Rival nations are finally negotiating.  And like monsters abroad, America’s deep state conspirators are finally realizing there’s nowhere to hide.  Not at a prayer breakfast.  Not anywhere.  The cloak of dignity is removed, because this guy doesn’t care how he sounds.  If you conspire to hurt others, Trump just wants to expose you.  A lot.
 
No, Trump doesn’t act like me, and I love it. 
 
Bravo, Mr. President.

​These are great times for President Donald Trump.  A triumphant State of the Union Speech.  A soaring economy.  Rising polls, groundbreaking trade deals, plummeting border crossings, dead terror leaders, zillions of confirmed judges, and crowning it all, a decisive acquittal from the most bogus impeachment charges in history.
 
Yep, great times.
 
But one man sought to end all this—a man from Trump’s own party.  Amidst America’s fundamental transformation into Heaven on Earth, one wayward Republican plotted our return to hell and despair.
 
Of whom do I speak?  Why, Mitt Romney, of course.  Though presumably a right-leaning moderate, when Mitt saw all those America-hating Democrats during Trump’s address—shouting protests, refusing to applaud war heroes, tearing up speeches—when Mitt saw them, he thought, “They should be in charge here!”
 
The next day, Mitt stood as the lone Republican voting to impeach Trump with no evidence.  Having watched the House conduct a stacked inquisition that would make Salem witch judges envious, Mitt stood firm—against facts. 
 
Just add it up:
 
  • 17 witnesses on one side to none on the other.
  • The chief prosecutor also presiding as judge.
  • A phone call with no offer, threat, victim, fraud, or consequences.
  • Full access and aid provided with no investigation in return.
  • The lone fact witness admitting Trump wanted no quid pro quo.
  • House Democrats voting to impeach on the evidence they said they had, then begging the Senate to rebuild their case with more witnesses.
 
To all this, Mitt said, “Sounds fair to me!  Impeach 45!  Impeach 45!”
 
Most laughable was Mitt’s desire to allow a new witness, John Bolton.  Folks, this is the worst kind of witness—a bitter ex-employee.  But there stood Mitt, ready to erase Trump’s presumption of innocence, outright believing every word parting Bolton’s mustache like a breeze through curtains.
 
Remember, Mitt is a businessman, and has fired many people.  So, just imagine if all of them are brought forth to a stacked court chaired by Mitt’s enemies.  Then, as Mitt’s presumption of innocence is summarily waived, every word from these bitter ex’s is treated as gospel.  This, my friends, is precisely what Mitt wanted Bolton to do against Trump.
 
But why, Mitt?  Why do all this?  I’ve heard some weak theories.
 
Theory #1:  Mitt’s just a RINO.
 
Wrong, folks.  Oh sure, the label might fit, but it has also been applied to Mitch McConnell, Lindsay Graham, Marco Rubio, Rudy Giuliani, and many others who are having the time of their lives working with Trump.  My goodness, McConnell almost looks…younger.  No, being a “RINO” doesn’t explain Mitt at all.
 
Theory #2:  Mitt’s acting on “principle.”
 
This is sheer lunacy.  Mitt’s a smart guy, knowing full well the impact of his actions.  He knows he’s helping a Democrat Party which had trended radically Left, far beyond Mitt’s beliefs.  By damaging Trump, Romney helps rescue an ideology that would ruin America—and he knows it.
 
Coupled with his knowledge of how the House conducted this witch hunt, this makes one truth inescapable:  Mitt knows he’s joining the worst of the worst.
 
Principle?  Oh, come on.
 
Theory #3:  It’s for Mitt's career.
 
Some actually think Mitt sees a potential White House bid in upending Trump.  No, folks, he doesn’t. 
 
In truth, Mitt’s political career is finished.  Not only has he lost any base support for the Presidency, but Mitt has also ensured his ouster by Utah Republicans when his current term expires.  Utah Republicans can’t wait to remove him, and nationally, he has no political home whatsoever. 
 
So, Mitt knows he has destroyed his career and abandoned principle.  The question is, why?
 
The Real Reason:
 
Okay then, why do this?  With principles and career tossed aside, what motive drives Mitt Romney?  In a word, the answer is rage.  That’s right.  Good old fashioned, illogical, blind rage.
 
Think about those few times in your life when circumstances drove you beyond self-control—perhaps when you were shocked by actions of people you thought you could trust.  Think back on the anger; the rage.  At those times, did you perfectly measure each word and forecast each outcome?  Of course not.  In fact, you probably made some of your most regrettable decisions.
 
Now think about Donald Trump.  Personally, I enjoy his manner—the edgy humor, the blunt retorts, etc.  Never have I been so UN-bored by a politician!  And yet, I realize Trump offends people behind closed doors like they’ve never been offended before.  Simply put, he shocks their sense of decorum.  He slaps them until they explode.  Pressing and insulting, Donald Trump turns their thoughts of disagreement…into rage.
 
What’s more, Trump then takes private offenses to the public arena, openly pummeling former allies to the delight of his supporters (like me).  The objects of his taunts are those who never experienced anything like this from fellow Republicans—people like Romney.
 
Once highly respected, Romney now has millions jeering him and casting him aside.  And all this has been orchestrated by a man who, though a marvelous deal-maker, lags far behind Romney in policy knowledge.  Worse yet, Trump’s moves, which seem so simplistic to the Romney’s of Washington, are working.  ISIS is gone.  The economy is roaring.  Wars are decreasing.  The border is securing.  Trade deals are improving—massively.
 
How would you feel?  Imagine being highly respected, and then having someone come in whose knowledge and skills seem well beneath your own.  Worse yet, this person offends you behind closed doors in ways you’ve never experienced.  Then he does it publicly.  Wow!
 
Suddenly, you’re being mocked by former supporters, and all ambitions you’ve had moving forward are utterly erased.  And it gets worse!  Now imagine watching every idea this man has…work.  Everyone’s happier.  Everything’s better.  Even your best friends (like McConnell and Rubio) are having a blast working with this guy—they’re unleashed with newfound energy.
 
Do you feel the humiliation?  Do you feel the rage?  Do you sense your frustration—your willingness to throw principle and career aside just to bring him down?
 
Do you feel yourself becoming someone you never thought you’d be?
 
Well, it can happen, and I believe it has happened to Mitt Romney.  Though seeing incredible dishonesty in the Democrats—both in House hearings and their radical plans for this country—Mitt is willing to help that corrupt bunch burn America to the ground.  This isn’t principle.  Nor is it ambition.  Borne of hopelessness and despair, Mitt wants to watch the America that is rejecting him…burn. 
 
Just burn it all down, baby!  That’ll teach us for electing this man!  Impeach 45!  Impeach 45!
 
This is rage, folks.  Pure rage.  It was never about right or wrong—not even close.  There is only rage, and on this I will actually give Trump some blame.  Trump doesn’t just beat people--he enrages them.  And much though I enjoy this when he does it to white cat-petting supervillains at the FBI, Trump could have lightened up on Romney.  Yes, Mitt deserved it, but that doesn’t change the consequences.  Trump being Trump…turned a frustrated man into a monster.
 
Now ultimately, Trump isn’t to blame for the Romney’s rage.  Trump never forced Mitt to do anything, much less destroy his career, abandon principle, and turn on America itself.  Mitt owns all this—not Trump.  Mitt is the one who couldn’t handle Trump’s incredible success overrunning his dreams.
 
But hey, Trump made it worse.
 
Going forward, all that’s left is a lesson for each of us.  After all, many of us have known the pain of watching tormenters rise to relative fame and glory.  Gut-wrenching, isn’t it?  There you are in that office place, watching someone who has treated you terribly...move up the ladder.  You can’t win, you can’t get justice, you aren’t pitied, and you might not even be remembered.  The more you protest, the smaller you look.  And though you’ve never been a selfish or shallow person, their unbound success feels like mocking hecklers laughing at your expense.  It’s almost more than you can take.
 
But always remember Mitt.  Remember that, after years have passed and your life is nearly over, you’ll look back on who you were in these moments.  Were you your best self?  Did you find peace in your principles?  Joy in your faith?  Strength in your purpose?
 
Or  were you…Mittraged?
