Perhaps the PEOPLE are actually learning that DemonRATS arr the same people we fought during WWII and up until today in the middle east.... let's hope the pendulum is swinging back in favor of Patriotic Americans instead of the Socislist dreams of everything FREE UNTIL it comes time for SOMEONE to pay for it!
The win expanded the GOP's narrow majority in the chamber and ended more than two decades of representation in the district by Democrats and members of the Lourey family.
