The Pros And Cons Of Pat Toomey

Another over reach of power by the Obama administration, he is illegally ignoring congress and magically creates laws, right or wrong, where none existed before. By doing so, he gives zero chance for anyone or any state to debate or object to what he is trying to do, that is why we have a congress.

Senator Portman has a record of 27 missed out of 1678 roll call votes. This makes his missed average of 1.6% which is the same as with the median of 1.5% among senators currently serving. His key issues are creating jobs for small businesses from the government. He's standing on the fact that Washington’s spending which adds to the nation’s debt of trillions of dollars affecting generations to come. Focus on energy reduction and the energy process, protecting national security and creating jobs on the home front. He is a strong 2nd Amendment supporter voting to protect the Constitutional rights of Ohioans. Not a supporter of Obamacare believing that it needed to be repealed and replace with a plan that improves health care. A firm position on pro-life and the National Right to

First, I will begin by discussing the major and third parties of the Georgia Senate. David Purdue is a republican member to the U.S. Senate from Georgia. Perdue was born in Macon, Georgia and was raised in Warner Robins, where he grew up working in his family farm. Coming from a family of school teachers, Perdue learned the importance of hard work and valued a good education at an early age. Perdue attended Georgia Tech and earned a degree in industrial engineering. Some people asked “Why should I vote for David Perdue?” One of his major concerns was for a nation’s national debt, which is around 17 trillion dollars and is continuing to grow more and more each day. The federal debt is now higher than our entire GDP (Gross Domestic Product.) Perdue’s

The 2016 Presidential election has got to be the most aggressive yet entertaining election of all time. Who would have ever thought that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton would be the two candidates running for President? This election has got everyone, everywhere riled up over who will win the campaign. Citizens of the United States could argue that neither one of the candidates running, is fit to be Commander and Chief. It has come to the point in this election where citizens are not engaging in voting for President, because of the candidates running. Due to the lack of participates voting, I believe that Senator John McCain would better qualify as President because he is a diplomat, he has a strong military background, he’s had years of experience and is a

The Republican incumbent Senator Patrick Toomey of Pennsylvania was placed in a difficult position throughout his Senatorial campaign. With an unstable, hectic presidential campaign in progress, the citizens of Pennsylvania were curious as to whether the two senatorial candidates were in support or opposed to their party’s respective presidential candidates. While Katie McGinty, the democratic candidate for the Pennsylvania Senate, clearly endorsed Hillary Clinton, Toomey refrained from expressing clear support for Donald Trump. Although McGinty attacked Toomey’s lack of decisiveness and called him weak, Toomey took this stance strategically. Toomey resulted in winning the Pennsylvania Senatorial election through his status as an incumbent, and his strategic decision to refrain from fully endorsing Donald Trump.

Although Burr was never able to reach 50% in the polls, he exceeded that threshold on Election Day and defeated Ross by almost 6%. In order to analyze the political climate further, I will be comparing the exit polls for both Trump vs. Clinton and Burr vs Ross. This will help explain why Ross was entering the Senate race with a disadvantage despite media pundits arguing that higher turnout in presidential election years should benefit Ross. Although Five Thirty Eight gave Clinton the slight edge to defeat Trump in North Carolina, Trump’s was able to carry the state with a modest performance. Although Real Clear Politics had Burr winning by an average of 2%, that was certainly below the 5.7% final result. In a three way race between Trump, Clinton, and Johnson, Trump was predicted to win North Carolina by about 1%. The actual results, however, showed Trump winning by about 4%. Although this paper is focusing on the Senate race, it’s certainly important to note the impact that a presidential candidate can have on the electoral map, particularly

No, Governor Quinby was not correct when he stated that Lieutenant Governor Smithers did not have the power to assign the abortion bill to the Health and Safety Committee. The Lt. Gov. has the complete authority in deciding which bill is assigned to which committee because he is the President of the Senate. In the text it says that “by not accepting his committee recommendation he was abdicating his LT. Gov. responsibilities,” however, that is not true because his responsibility as the president of the senate is to assign bills to the committee who he sees best fit. It also states that the LT. Gov. thought that the bill imposed the Governor’s religious beliefs on the people of Texas therefore he thought that the bill was not something he wanted to pass. He assigned it to the Health and Safety committee so that the bill would not pass and that is okay because he has the power to do so.

The Confessions of Congressman X, as the title says, is a confession book by a member of the congress who remains anonymous to the public. He talks about his job, his colleagues, and his constituents and not exactly in a positive way. He mentions their lack of political knowledge and what their real interests are. Another fact that he mentions is how campaigns run around money and how they affect their benefactors. Lately but not least important, he explains why the Congress does not function as it should and suggests some improvements for a better Congress that works for the people and not for their own benefit.

When the words “swing state” are mentioned, Florida is perhaps one of the first states a person may think of. In this year’s election cycle, the story is no different. Florida has a single senate seat up for election, and Marco Rubio (R), and Patrick Murphy (D) are hoping to claim it on November 8th. Marco Rubio has held that seat since the last senate election in 2010, giving him an edge as the incumbent. Patrick Murphy is the challenger and has been a member of the House of Representatives since 2012. A glance at any polling numbers shows Rubio ahead, and most have shown him ahead since the beginning of the race. The polls do not show a commanding lead, as one may expect from an incumbent. While polling margins are slimmer than many average incumbents, money has not stopped flowing to Rubio. His finances are typical of an incumbent particularly that of a closely contested race. It may be impossible to tell which has the greater effect of Rubio’s fundraising. In states that are typically swing states and have close political races, simple analyses such as incumbency advantage may not fully explain the results and polls in the race.

Senators and House of Representatives members across the country are running for reelection. Without considering the cost of running for a Senator’s seat, beating an incumbent is a difficult hill to climb. Even with all of these obstacles, Katie McGinty has a strong foundation to run for Pennsylvania’s senator. She is a democrat who has big plans for her time in Congress. She is the best for senator for Pennsylvania because McGinty plans to raise the federal minimum wage and shows support for middle-class families. While never held office in Congress, she was chairwoman of an environmental quality council in the White House in the 90’s, so she has ample experience in dealing with policy and government matters.

While looking on line I found an article about Pat Toomey and how he is “flexing his muscles on healthcare,taxes.”. This article dates back to September meaning it is accurate. It starts off by pointing of Toomey’s input for pushing back the affordable care act. Which turns into a plan to dramatically break down Medicaid spending. In the article it states how even though Toomey is not a formal leadership post he is still one of GOP’s most respected brains. He actually sat at the table with trump and six others and argued that tax breaks will spark enough economic activity to help offset any losses in federal revenue. This shows he is not afraid to oppose economists. This shows how my senator is not afraid to put his voice out there and speak

While, it's true that Senator Schumer is one of the most liberal Democrats in the Senate I fear his allegiance and alliance to Prime Minster Netanyahu and not our own President will lead us down a path to war. He denies this in his email of course and still wants to negotiate but offers no specifics. There is overwhelming support in the world community not just among politicians but scientists as well as the upper echelon of the military. Far greater minds than I could ever possibly possess who also want this to succeed.

Less than twenty-four hours before the election began, the New York governor told a television audience, “The Republican Party faces the danger of being dominated by a radical extremism out of tune with the time and contrary to the very principles upon which the party was founded.” Another slug to the chin of his opponent, but Goldwater was nowhere to be found, having decided that he would not fight back in the state after all. His absence left room for guesses on his mental state, though nothing could be confirmed. Rockefeller’s

and five term United States Senator Chuck Grassley. Going into this race Senator Grassley was the heavy favorite to win re-election due to his high name recognition and strong approver rating among both Republicans and Democrats, his access to deep fundraising pockets, and finally Senator Grassley strong ground support which has helped him cruise to re-election for the past 36 years; 66% in 1986, 70% in 1992, 68% in 1998, 70% in 2004, and 64% in 2010. What make this race interesting is the fact that Senator Grassley has never had to face a Republican opponent going all the way back to 1986 which was the first year that he ran as an incumbent United States Senator. For Senator Grassley, being able to run a General Election style campaign starting

“I have pretty serious concerns about Donald Trump,” Gunnoe said. “I want my candidate to win, but another major motivating factor is the state of our country if Donald Trump is elected.”
