On what issues did the republican candidate differ from Trump?
Let me clarify: Trump didn’t win because he was a republican. He won because he’s trump. There was a fair consensus around here that the R party was not exactly ecstatic about him getting the nomination. ;-)
On what issues did the Democrat candidate differ from Trump?
"Lamb went in +6 and barely won (pending challenges). He had to run as a pro-2A, pro-life, anti-Pelosi Dem. Hardly representative of their party. More importantly, the seat won't exist in November."
I think I read that the Ds have a 50,000 voter registration advantage in the district. Still, if Lamb had run as a Republican and Saccone as a Democrat it would have been a blowout. Saccone wasn't a very good candidate and his predecessor quit in a sex scandal. Trump almost pulled Saccone over the line.
The Republican party needs to look at this, do an autopsy, think about it and stop doing stupid things before November.
