Saccone’s main problems IMHO:
1) He looks bad. In most of the ads he looks like a sloppily-dressed walrus. Not good when your opponent is young and telegenic.
2) He is a member of the PA Legislature, which is more than enough to make you distrust him right off the bat.
3) Republican voters are worn-out, disgusted and demotivated after years of pouring support behind Tim Murphy who turned out to be a two-timing plastic banana phony.
4) Democrats on the other hand are fully charged-up as the relentless Trump Hatred and calls to RESIST have them crawling over broken glass to get to the polls.
Maybe it’s just my part of the district, but I’m not seeing any of that. I live in a very rural part of the 18th and I see way more Saccone support than Lamb.
Yep. Repubs need to freshen up or there will be more train wrecks like Roy Moore.
Hopefully this Saccone person can somehow pull it off. I watched Trump’s rally the other night and Saccone got me as excited as I would be watching broccoli grow.
Murphy fooled a lot of people for a long time, I think. I went to college with him and he seemed quite a straight-arrow type. Didn’t know him well, though.
