To the editor:

After reading the article “Dems keep seat,” I have a couple of observations.

First is Congressman-elect Pat Ryan’s quoted comments must have been taken from the Republican Party’s playbook, because all the ills and problems he cited have been and are caused by the Democrats, their allies and their minions.

They should get over Trump and move on to try to solve the real problems the country faces – a good deal of which have been caused by their policies.

Secondly, at the end of the article, I found it illuminating that Marc Molinaro garnered 57.19 percent and Pat Ryan received 42.72 percent of the Sullivan County vote. So, Marc Molinaro clearly won Sullivan County. In the Republican Primary, for the 51st District State Senate seat, Terry Bernardo received 74.91 percent of the vote while Peter Oberacker only got 24.91 percent of the vote in Sullivan County.

Clearly, Sullivan County wants Molinaro and Bernardo, but will not get either one.

My conclusion is Sullivan County is not only one of the poorest counties in the state but also the least represented politically for the majority of its voters on both the state and fed- eral levels.
