What The Lamb Win Shows Us....

BTW, we have no idea whether Lamb has actually won this election or if the Rats pulled their usual stunts and threw hundreds of Saccone votes into the Ohio River.....maybe we can tie them up all summer in injunctions and the boy never takes the seat. :badgrin:

As I predicted earlier:

VOTING MACHINES SEIZED.....WIDE-SPREAD IRREGULARITIES....RECOUNT CALLED FOR......


GOP gearing up to challenge District 18 results, impound all voting machines used in special election

It's called sore losers.
 
The turnout was around 290,000 in 2016. The turnout was around 228,000 which means the turnout was around 68%. Everybody was so busy talking about the blue collar vote, they forget that the suburbs are also located in the 18th. It looks like Lamb won big in the suburbs and got enough of the blue collar vote to win. That would fit a pattern seen in Virginia and NJ. In Alabama the Democrat did better in the suburbs than Clinton did.

Also one of the winners looks to be Joe Biden. He apparently is one of the few national Democrats that can go into a district like this. If he decides to run, it could be big trouble for Trump.
 
It shows us that Donald Trump is such a unique political figure, he has literally NO coattails. Not that he didn't help the sack of groceries Saccone with his rally....he surely did but fell short by 627 votes out of 228,378 ballots counted so far. And of course the GOP can always count on some Libertarian clown to snag enough votes to screw their candidate time after time...this time it was 1,379 votes....twice what Saccone needed. :102:

There are technically 70,000 more registered Democrats in the 18th Congressional District than Republicans, but many of those voters have been casting ballots for GOP candidates for years. Mikus, who has worked on Democratic campaigns in the state for years, said Lamb successfully proved himself an independent.

“It’s not so much a conservative district as it is an economic populist district,” said longtime Pennsylvania Democratic consultant Mike Mikus. “You don’t have to support the NRA down the line, but respect the right of people to own firearms ... and [be] someone that’s willing to stand up to the national party when they feel it’s in the interest of the
district or the region.”


So what does all this prove? Only that the Trump-Effect is limited to the candidate he's supporting as it should be. He can't drag a loser to victory.....half the voters love him but won't abide getting stuck with a lemon to represent them. This seat won't exist after November so the Rat party has another meaningless vote in the House until then...no worries. The real issue is they better have better than Saccone elsewhere to keep the House.


It’s official: Democrat Conor Lamb wins Pennsylvania special election in major upset


Delusion, funny on first look, sad on second look.

It's a hell of a spin job :lol:

I would hope every poor person who’s benefitting from Obamacare got the message when republicans almost repealed their affordable healthcare. Missed it by one vote.

If republicans don’t lose seats I hope they do repeal the Aca in 2019
 
Trump only beat Hillary by like 1% in the entire state of PA. Duh.

"Duh".....why not call yourself that? And how many votes were stolen or not counted for him in the ghettos of Pittsburgh and Philly, Duh? Duh? where'd you go?

You missed my point. The Pres election was very close for the entire state of PA. This election for just one district shows us nothing in particular.

Trump won this district by 20 points, in a state that he won by merely 1 point. What do you think that means after last night?
