The GOP was down 7 points, Trump held a rally and the race was tied.
Lesson the GOP-E doesn’t want to learn. Trump voters are loyal to the Trump agenda, not the GOP.
Also, the author got it completely wrong. Lamb ran as “willing to work with Trump”. He ran as a “God and Guns patriotic law and order vet”. So basically he ran againt the National Democrat party and lied his way into office.
Now he has a problem. Does he go to DC and buck the party, and lose the 5.6 million in far Leftist fund raising he got for this special election or does he vote in Congress as a good little DNC stooge and risk pissing off the people who thought he was serious when he ran on a pro-God/Pro Guns anti Peolosie agenda?
But were they really down 7 points?

He sticks with what got him there would be my expectation. Lamb may be a lot of things but one thing he did prove was he isn't stupid.
It was an easy no brainer for the Trump / hillary race.
Heaven or hell ..... filter or plain end ..... car or truck ..... yes or no.
THAT race was SO polarized.
But the Lamb / Saccone race was conservative or conservative and the delivery of that message by a young and energetic politician verses a rather dull and dry one made any democrat that DID flip for Trump, come back to their roots because they were thinkin' ... "Now THAT'S what I'M talkin' 'bout !"
