BREAKING : The AMISH Helped Propel Trump to a HISTORIC VICTORY!
That’s right, the Amish helped Trump WIN Pennsylvania, which in turn put him over the top in the delegate count.
How cool is that?
They attracted the Amish vote with promises of deregulating small businesses and also pointing out that Trump has never had a sip of alcohol.
From Times-Gazette:
According to data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics, the Amish PAC spent $1,351 on advertising in the Holmes County Shopper and an additional $1,298 for The Budget.
Both newspapers are geared toward the Amish and Mennonite communities in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The newspaper advertisements featured a photo of Trump and bullet points that read, “Trump has never been a politician or held elected office” and “never had a glass of alcohol.”
According to its financial disclosure forms filed with the Federal Elections Commission in Oct., Amish PAC paid $9,392.14 to Lamar Outdoor Advertising for four billboards in July and August that went up in Ohio and Pennsylvania encouraging the Amish to vote for Donald Trump on Election Day.
The 500 Amish PAC volunteers went through Lancaster County, Pa. and knocked on doors to register the Amish and Mennonites to vote, held letter writing campaigns and sent mailers.
To get mailing and email lists for volunteers and potential voters, the Amish PAC disclosed for the Federal Elections Commission that it disbursed $8,078 to Omega List. Walters said the Amish PAC volunteers showed up at Amish weddings on Election Day — there were more than 10 throughout Lancaster County, Pa. that day — and drove them to the polls to vote.
“We had one guy who said that he showed up at one house and he ended up taking five people to the polls that day. It was like hitting the jackpot,” said Walters.
Walters said the Amish and Mennonites are fed up with farming and small business regulations that are affecting them and that this presidential election is just the beginning — he said the organization is looking ahead to the Ohio Senate race in 2018.

God bless the Amish. May Hitlery rot in hell with all her shills and the useful idiot, Jill Stein.
Do you ever think to yourself .. ‘hey, I’m gonna use this idiotic play on words like Hitlery or Libtard and god damned I’m gonna sound so fucking brilliant?’ … Hillary was a raging pile of shit, but so is Trump. Sadly I have a feeling that you are one of the many pathetic conservatives that actually thinks he is going to look out for you. His position was never to benefit the Republicans.. or anyone else for that matter. But spend a few years thinking that his election is somehow vindicating for you and your kind. Look forward to you idiots further dividing the country… and also fucking up so bad that you had someone else the reins for another 8 years. Sincerely, every centrist and independent voter out there…. the new majority.
Hey, where can I get a copy of ‘Greatest Centrists of All Time’ ? You foul-mouthed nincompoop…
Karen,we will NEVER EVER know what Hitlery could have done to or for this country…..but ANYTHING that can vindicate what Obama has done to this country for the last 8 years is good with me….I’ll gladly and without question,take my chances, because for the next 4 to maybe 8 years the liberal, progressive evil idealogy is squashed……suck it up baby!
Your rant is so full of non English you bleed of ignorance, clean up your potty mouth and you may gain someone’s interest!
Oh my my, you holier than Thou. Forgive us conservatives. We are just very selective. We choose to vote for the candidate that has more class. And Trump is the one. Any questions?
Exactly why so many voted for Trump. They are tired of being taken advantage, the lies, corruption, disregard to the Constitution, God and what it really means to be an American.
Liberals have ruined America time and time again, every bad thing devised to divide the country falls under Liberals! Slavery, Civil War, KKK, Racial Hatred etc..
Comment is rude. When you stoop to name calling and profanities to share your opinion, it makes your opinion irrelevant. Just another angry liberal.
Karen HaCunthn.. play on words.. with a last name such as yours, no wonder you don’t cotton to “play on words!” Trump will light this country up, and you naysayers can just pack it up your little behinds! IF you are part of the new majority – why didn’t your person win?
Karen if the Centrist and Independents are the new majority WHY DIDN’T YOUR CANDIDATE WIN? I don’t see an Independent going into the Oval Office! I see the new face of the Republican party, the party for the people by the people and the PEOPLE are who voted TRUMP in. Suck it up Karen and give the man a chance we gave Obama a chance 8 years of chances, and he has done zip. Name 1 good thing Obama has done?
GIGGLE, you are such a certified idiot, how is that for words….only those are true ones, suck it up buttercup you are the last thing we need in this country, put a straw on instead of the safety pin and suck it UP…..
I have nothing to add, except that you took the words right from my mouth.
Love it…..God Bless the Amish
I am an Amish taxi driver and was on the road with them on a long distance trip when the election results were coming in. We were at our hotel and you could hear them screaming and cheering next-door in their hotel room. They are some of the most awesome people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with and we could all learn a lot from them!
I totally agree as soon as I saw the Amish needed rides to the Voting Polls I passed it on to my Twitter account God Bless them hard working farmers they beg for nothing and give back so much, they certainly helped us have a real President Donald J Trump
God bless you Joe and ‘all’ the Amish folks, and not just because they may have voted for Trump. God bless them for being devoted to Christ.
The Amish are good Godly people with sense! They know trump is definitely the lesser of two evils by far!! God bless you humble folks!!
~70K Amish in PA. Half are women who are very unlikely to vote. Half of the remaining are under legal voting age. That leaves a maximum of 17500 Amish votes for Trump. That’s a stretch and not likely the number. I personally spoke with many Amish who were completely anti-Trump. This article exaggerates the role the Amish played in Trump’s victory. Romney lost PA by 280000 votes but won Lancaster County (heavy Amish population) by 42000 votes. Trump won PA by 68000 votes and won Lancaster County by 47000 votes.
I would like to thank the Amish for all of their support.. God Bless You

American Uprising
This wasn’t an election. It was a revolution.
It’s midnight in America. The day before fifty million Americans got up and stood in front of the great iron wheel that had been grinding them down. They stood there even though the media told them it was useless. They took their stand even while all the chattering classes laughed and taunted them.
They were fathers who couldn’t feed their families anymore. They were mothers who couldn’t afford health care. They were workers whose jobs had been sold off to foreign countries. They were sons who didn’t see a future for themselves. They were daughters afraid of being murdered by the “unaccompanied minors” flooding into their towns. They took a deep breath and they stood. They held up their hands and the great iron wheel stopped.
The Great Blue Wall crumbled. The impossible states fell one by one. Ohio. Wisconsin. Pennsylvania. Iowa. The white working class that had been overlooked and trampled on for so long got to its feet. It rose up against its oppressors and the rest of the nation, from coast to coast, rose up with it.
They fought back against their jobs being shipped overseas while their towns filled with migrants that got everything while they got nothing. They fought back against a system in which they could go to jail for a trifle while the elites could violate the law and still stroll through a presidential election. They fought back against being told that they had to watch what they say. They fought back against being held in contempt because they wanted to work for a living and take care of their families. They fought and they won.
This wasn’t a vote. It was an uprising. Like the ordinary men chipping away at the Berlin Wall, they tore down an unnatural thing that had towered over them. And as they watched it fall, they marveled at how weak and fragile it had always been. And how much stronger they were than they had ever known.
Who were these people? They were leftovers and flyover country. They didn’t have bachelor degrees and had never set foot in a Starbucks. They were the white working class. They didn’t talk right or think right. They had the wrong ideas, the wrong clothes and the ridiculous idea that they still mattered. They were wrong about everything. Illegal immigration?
Everyone knew it was here to stay. Black Lives Matter? The new civil rights movement. Manufacturing? As dead as the dodo. Banning Muslims? What kind of bigot even thinks that way? Love wins. Marriage loses. The future belongs to the urban metrosexual and his dot com, not the guy who used to have a good job before it went to China or Mexico.
They couldn’t change anything. A thousand politicians and pundits had talked of getting them to adapt to the inevitable future. Instead they got in their pickup trucks and drove out to vote. And they changed everything.
Barack Hussein Obama boasted that he had changed America. A billion regulations, a million immigrants, a hundred thousand lies and it was no longer your America. It was his. He was JFK and FDR rolled into one. He told us that his version of history was right and inevitable. And they voted and left him in the dust. They walked past him and they didn’t listen. He had come to campaign to where they still cling to their guns and their bibles. He came to plead for his legacy.
And America said, “No.” Fifty millions Americans repudiated him. They repudiated the Obamas and the Clintons. They ignored the celebrities. They paid no attention to the media. They voted because they believed in the impossible. And their dedication made the impossible happen.
Americans were told that walls couldn’t be built and factories couldn’t be opened. That treaties couldn’t be unsigned and wars couldn’t be won. It was impossible to ban Muslim terrorists from coming to America or to deport the illegal aliens turning towns and cities into gangland territories. It was all impossible. And fifty million Americans did the impossible. They turned the world upside down.
It’s midnight in America. CNN is weeping. MSNBC is wailing. ABC calls it a tantrum. NBC damns it. It wasn’t supposed to happen. The same machine that crushed the American people for two straight terms, the mass of government, corporations and non-profits that ran the country, was set to win. Instead the people stood in front of the machine. They blocked it with their bodies. They went to vote even though the polls told them it was useless. They mailed in their absentee ballots even while Hillary Clinton was planning her fireworks victory celebration. They looked at the empty factories and barren farms. They drove through the early cold. They waited in line. They came home to their children to tell them that they had done their best for their future. They bet on America. And they won. They won improbably. And they won amazingly.
They were tired of ObamaCare. They were tired of unemployment. They were tired of being lied to. They were tired of watching their sons come back in coffins to protect some Muslim country. They were tired of being called racists and homophobes. They were tired of seeing their America disappear. And they stood up and fought back. This was their last hope. Their last chance to be heard. The media had the election wrong all along. This wasn’t about personalities. It was about the impersonal. It was about fifty million people whose names no one except a server will ever know fighting back. It was about the homeless woman guarding Trump’s star. It was about the lost Democrats searching for someone to represent them in Ohio and Pennsylvania. It was about the union men who nodded along when the organizers told them how to vote, but who refused to sell out their futures. No one will ever interview all those men and women. We will never see all their faces. But they are us and we are them. They came to the aid of a nation in peril.They did what real Americans have always done. They did the impossible.
America is a nation of impossibilities. We exist because our forefathers did not take no for an answer. Not from kings or tyrants. Not from the elites who told them that it couldn’t be done. The day when we stop being able to pull off the impossible is the day that America will cease to exist. Today is not that day. Today fifty million Americans did the impossible.
Midnight has passed. A new day has come. And everything is about to change.
