He Should Keep Fighting. – John York (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always sided with my Democrat superiors in the federal government against me. If GAO had been unionized, my Democrat GAO superiors would NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO force me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, give me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, not promote me beyond GS-13, get rid of my mentor in 1987, keep me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and force me to take a $19,203 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

Needless-to-say, the larger the percentage of anti-Trumps in a precinct, municipality, township/ward, county, and state, the more that Trump supporters should be concerned about their personal safety. Only 117 voted for Trump in my precinct while 211 voted for Clinton. Ever-increasingly, Trump supporters are buying firearms and ammunition for the self-defense.)
