Trump voters are Trump voters...not GOP voters. If GOP Congressional candidates want them to come out they need to give them a reason!!! If I were Saccone I would have mentioned Donald Trump or one of his signature agenda items in every single ad I ran. Bar none.
How many millions of dollars did the Dems have to pump in to create that “over performance?
Where are they going to get that same funding advantage in Nov when they have to run in every house District and 1/3 of the Senate seats?
Curious if this Leftist anaylisis looked at the GOP style campaign this “Veteran” “Law and Order” canidate ran?
Going to be tough to run on this same set of lies in Nov when they have to go back after actually voting Democrat in the Congress
Fivethirtyeight telling us what we have known all along; if you make enough predictions you will eventually get one right.
“Tuesday represented yet another huge Democratic overperformance in a Trump-era special election.”
Huge? I believe Trump Is 4 for 5 in special house races.
This election is only good till Nov anyway.
Which Dems and Independents who voted for Trump failed to vote or voted for Dem? Why?
If he would have shaved his mustache, he may get have got 700 more votes, or else flipped 350.
Lamb ran as a conservative - he’s pro-gun, he’s pro-life, he’s pro-tariff!
Trump acolyte! A Democrat Blue Dog. Lamb was many things but he didn’t run as a Hillary, Obama or Sanders Democrat.
Even with all that, it wasn’t a blowout win and a resounding rejection of the Trump agenda.
ya...the Dem had to run on the Trump platform to get any attention.
The Dem ran as pro 2nd Amendment. Let see how well he does after he goes to DC and either votes as Nancy tells him to or buck her and votes as he campaigned.
Some people here on FR have said the Dem outspent the Republican by a great margin. Five to one I think I saw.
Is that true? If so, it MIGHT help explain.
Or, if it is not true, it could be a lame urban myth or internet lie that is being used as an excuse.
Does anyone know?
The lesson is.....Dems will vote for any pretty boy they put out there. When will women figure out that they’re being used.
Another important takeaway is that the media push-polling is still invalid.
Try as they might to overstate the doom for Republicans, the results continue to demonstrate the lie. Republicans should take away a determination to f@ck with pollsters at every turn. Rather than refuse to participate, they should take part in any polling and tell the pollsters they support the democrat. The more skewed the elections become from the polling, the less validity polls will have in upcoming elections.
Tonight he'll be at the neighborhood tavern, seated at the table in the far dark corner. There he and 3 or 4 other outcasts will sip generic lite beer and celebrate their "great moral victory".
1. The GOP lost a ton of credibility when it couldn't even do a half-assed repeal of ObamaCare after promising to do it for seven years.
2. Trump may have won in 2016, but he was also running against an awful candidate and damn near lost anyway. The likelihood of a groundswell of voter support carrying into 2018 is marginal at best.
3. Mediocre GOP candidates will lose to good Democrat candidates in many of these districts. Stop rolling out these dull characters with no energy who don't generate any enthusiasm among voters.
five thirty eight website is Nate Silver!
The same guy who gave Hilary a 98 percent chance of winning!
Aren’t there over 641 absentee ballots that have not been counted?
What about the military ballots?
