The TP Tsunami!

Governor Ralph Torres and Lt. Governor Arnold Palacios very much deserved their win in the 2018 November elections. They worked hard and amassed a following tide creating the TP Tsunami of vigorous support from it campaign managers. The social media movement created the tides and those candidates who fail to get on board with technology took a back seat.

However, I was quite surprised that Washington Delegate hopeful under the Republican banner did not fair well. Granted the united front the Republican Party boasted, somehow left Mr. Demapan hung out to dry. I truly expected a closer race with incumbent Gregorio Sablan. The amassing of support showed true colors as it mostly went to Governor Torres and Lt. Palacios while others had to fend for themselves in the running. The CNMI showed their colors of democracy and the old told-tale of voting down the line of one party affiliation, did not prevail at this time.

Times are changing and people are changing their ways and views. Of course, you’d still have a mass majority maintain their support, the die hard party affiliate and their are those seeking change. No matter the political affiliation, democracy was seen. Congratulations to those who won and I speak for myself in hopes that our elected officials will do right by its people of the Commonwealth. May god bless us all and continue to bring our island nation to prosperity.

Congratulations to our Governor and Lieutenant Governor Torres and Palacios!
