Sharice Davids was the most unlikely of candidates to beat Rep. Kevin Yoder. But that was before Yoder was body-snatched by President Donald J. Trump.

To really grasp how that alliance had morphed two men into almost one big Trump, consider Yoder’s answer to the final question in the only debate held between the two candidates:
Asked which area of government Yoder thinks should take the biggest cut, his answer was the Environmental Protection Agency.
That budget had already been cut by a third, and the EPA’s role in combating climate change had been reduced to almost nothing. Yet Yoder clung to the Trump agenda, even though he knew he was losing moderate Republican voters who were switching to Davids. His answer baffled me, as it did Davids.

The Trump-Yoder axis went much deeper than that one answer. It included voting to repeal Obamacare several times and joining forces to fund the border wall.
It went deep enough that Davids saw no reason to talk much or appear often throughout the campaign.
Instead, she would spend millions of dollars on ads attacking Yoder and the Trump agenda, including health care, but mostly just linking the two together.

..I am the first to admit that little is known about her political philosophy. If she is too far left, it will be goodbye Sharice in the next election in two years. We’ll know that only after she has cast some critical votes and made her voice heard on key issues.

All we know for now is that she represents a shift from the agenda of Trump and Yoder.
Davids was part of a blue wave in the House.
Her unique background and the trouncing of a bright, up-and-coming Republican leader combined to make this race one of the marquee elections anywhere in America.

DANGEROUS COATS
Someone clever once said
Women were not allowed pockets
In case they carried leaflets
To spread sedition
Which means unrest
To you & me
A grandiose word
For commonsense
Fairness
Kindness
Equality
So ladies start sewing
Dangerous Coats
Made of pockets & sedition

Practical, timeless and refreshing winter white. Very symbolic, pure heart, one of the good ones. It looks nice and love how it projects your intentions without saying a word.

The one wearing a coat. "It was Cold!!"

Best wishes to you, Sharice!
