Nothing says "Amish values" like a thrice-married, serial adulterer former candidate for president fronting for a thrice-married, serial adulterer current candidate for president

 

Conservative Republicans with ties to Newt Gingrich and Ben Carson have launched an effort to drive Amish and Mennonite voters in Lancaster County and a Plain community in Ohio to the polls in record numbers this fall. 

The campaign is, in part, a move to build on a similar effort here in 2004 on behalf of George W. Bush. But the leaders of the new effort, who are raising money through a political-action committee called the Amish PAC, say they are not affiliated with a candidate. 

“The Amish and Mennonites are one of the most conservative blocs of potential votes you have in this country, and Republicans have done a very poor job over the years of doing that outreach,” said Ben Walters, the committee’s co-founder.
