In reality, Pro-Trump, Pro-MAGA candidates have done very well in Congressional Races.
I still grin over the millions RATs burned through in Georgia last year only to lose LOL!!!
You are right on the money. The Republicans have won all five of the House Congressional seats last in 2017. They did lose the US Senate race in Alabama, mainly because they offered up a very flawed candidate in Judge, Roy Bean, who was weak on many fronts.
Now, I readily admit that Rick Saccone is not the most attractive man in the world, but, if you look at his rap sheet, 22 years in the Air Force, an Intelligence Officer, an expert on North Korea, a good, decent public servant, with his two sons serving in the Air Force today, he actually is a pretty decent candidate.
I am not looking for a pretty boy....I am looking for someone that will support POTUS, Donald J. Trump, 100% of the time. Rick Saccone is that man. Conon Lamb is not, and never would or will be, if elected, Mr. Lamb whether he utters it or not, is the political slave to whatever, Democrat Minority Leader, Nancy Pelosi orders him to do...he will do just as she always wishes. Anyone that believes the soft pablum dished out by Conon Lamb, is not living in this real world, and they are only fooling themselves. Maybe they all liked being out-of-work, living on food stamps and government handouts when Obama was POTUS!!! We shall see, this evening!!!
This is an entirely different race the GA... and I live in this district, and I can tell you....
Lamb may indeed win.
Saccone’s messaging as well as the GOPE has all been standard red meat republican messaging, attempt to tie lamb to Pelosi... not much else. This may motivate the R voters who would turn out no matter what, but I really really don’t think its going to get the MAGA I and D Cross over voters motivated.
Lamb has run a very good campaign for the district.
Saccone should still win, but it is not out of the question that Lamb pulls it out.. D’s are motivated, Trump Haters are motivated, they are going to show up and vote. I don’t think the Saccone campaign or the GOPe pacs have been providing appropriate messaging to motivate the MAGA voters (other than R’s who would show up anyway) to turn out.
Saccone should by the numbers win, but it is far closer than it should be, and if Saccone wins by less than 8 points, which I really doubt is going to happen, R’s better wake up and fix their messaging before the fall midterms or they are going to lose the house.
