If “Promises Made, Promises Kept” is the war cry of a strong leader, then the opposite must also be true. Broken promises are the whimper of the weak and Minnesota House Republicans appear to be dangerously close to collapsing under a crisis of character in our state Capitol.

In the February 9 edition of Face the Nation, Anthony Salvanto, CBS News' executive director of elections and surveys, said of Trump, “he is doing, in the eyes of the public, what he said he would do in the campaign. There’s political value in that.”  

The “political value” to which Salvanto was referring, is that “70% of people say he’s (Trump’s) doing what he promised, that’s whether they approve of him or not.”

Taking that a step further, a majority of people, including those that don’t even like Trump, find him to possess admirable qualities: tough, energetic, focused, and effective.

Jake Duesenberg said, “The beauty of what Trump, Elon and D.O.G.E. are doing is that they are boldly doing what the people who voted for them want! They are not asking courts for permission. They are NOT caving to Democrats’ ridiculous demands.”

Liberty lovers are looking for leaders that are ready, willing, and able to stand on the courage of their convictions. Legislators that won’t crumble in the face of opposition, but instead are unshakable because they possess spines of steel.

Patriots are in an ongoing and relentless search for fearless servant leaders that brazenly deliver on bold promises, while simultaneously saying NO to shady back room deals that are glibly explained away with cowardly tales of “we tried”.

The conservative grassroots would move mountains to support leadership that exudes a fighting spirit, with their walk matching their talk, and their actions consistently manifesting in the refusal to allow anyone or anything to stand in the way of keeping the promises that got them elected.

Reflecting on a rare moment in time when government is actually working for the people, Duesenberg also stated… “I must admit, I’ve never been this proud of someone I’ve voted for in my whole life. Trump is actually WINNING.”

Promises made, promises kept… Leaders that deliver the goods are nothing short of inspiring! Patriots throughout the state would crawl on their bellies over broken glass to get behind that kind of leader. House Republicans, are you listening?
