Murtha's district was north of this one. This has been solidly Republican for almost 20 years.
Yeah, but before that it was solidly Dem.
This was a solid win that was lost due to GOPe incompetence pure and simple.
What was the task they needed to do to win?
Get the I’s and D’s who voted Trump to turn out and vote....
What did they do? basically offered red meat the reliable R voter and offered nothing else.
This was a complete lesson in how to take a sure thing and flush it down the toilet.
The rank and file folks fighted hard, hardest fight I had ever seen in this district, sadly the people steering the ship are utterly incompetent!!!! They Blew it on EVERY level.
It was Santorum’s House seat from c. 1993-1995.
