This is an “Onion” article – right?
If there is anyone who could fit seamlessly into the Amish community it’s Drumpf and The Newt.
You can’t even call this type of stuff absurd anymore.
Lots of Amish in my home area of the North Country of NYS who arrived from Ohio in the seventies. If they are representative of the Amish communities that Trump is seeking out, I cannot imagine any of them talking to those a$$#0!es, and even if they did, they would not like what they have to say.
Uh-- TPM it’s Memorial day, not April Fools–right?
Well Drumpf and the Amish both want to return to life in the 19th century.
Drumpf just ordered a new limo for his tour of Amish Country
The Amish are the ones who built the grain-storing pyramids, right?
Good ole Ben Carson. He’s the gift that keeps on giving.
The Pew Research Center estimates that there are 440,000 Hispanics in Pennsylvania who are eligible to vote.
At first I thought this was a joke. Then I discovered it’s from Ben Carson. So, in reality it’s a nonsensical thought from a joke.
I would think of the Amish as having a more Libertarian bend since they opposed a DOT requirement that they have a reflective triangle on the back of their buggies.
Based on what little I know about the Amish, I would expect a flashy, loud-mouth, gold-plated billionaire who worships money and preaches hatred and intolerance toward minorities would be a turnoff for many.
But, again, I know that I don’t know that much about the Amish, and that I know even less about their political leanings.
Anybody have some insights on this? To what extent do the Amish turn out to vote, and do they tend to favor Republicans or Democrats? How did Bill Clinton and Barack Obama do in Amish country? Is gender a big issue – in other words, how open are they to the idea of a female president?
the logic behind their appeal to a relatively small population of voters was that the 2016 election could be as close as the 2000 race between Al Gore and George W. Bush.
Supreme court is out of service, so y’all can scratch that notion.
Interesting. So do they believe in a right to assisted suicide in general, or only assisted-suicide-by-motor-vehicle?
The Amish are taught humility and modesty. Don the Con is the last person they would EVER give a second thought.
At least they don’t have to worry about multiple campaign phone calls interrupting their dinner.
Billboards don’t brag …
Amish Hispanics?
The English are coming.
