I live in PA 18 as well, and I could tell almost immediately the GOP was likely going to lose... while the candidate was less than stellar it was the messaging that made it certain he was going to lose.
Simply calling your opponent a Pelosi sheep or clone isn’t going to get you votes. They ran messaging that only played to the main core R base and nothing else and he got spanked. Shouldn’t have been closer than 8 points and even with a lackluster candidate should have won comfortably..
Instead they spent 5 million on ads that did not play to anyone outside of the hard core R base and lost it.
You are NOT going to win, particularly up here with that sort of campaigning. Deep red south fine, but here that isn’t the recipe to win!
I was amazed the GOP was actually fighting and doing ground work here but there messaging was all wrong to win...
Unless you support President Trump.
