Great news...and the first thing I’ve heard about today’s primaries. Didn’t anyone show up?

[TexasGurl24]

It’s not uncontested, so I dint know why you are rambling.

Refreshing post.

10% turnout in SW PA thus far. The libertarian spoiler taking a decent percentage, but the rat barely bumping 37%.

This used to be a SOLID rat area.

It was a heavily contested seat this time in a district that has been trending RAT and went for Hillary in 16.

This was a really nice win!

[TexasGurl24]

I’m 95% certain the GOP will win District 58 too, based on what I’m seeing.

3 for 3.

I guess voters were impressed with Biden’s promise to shut down oil drilling and fracking.

[TexasGurl24]

Hilliary won the 18th district by 9 points. Rothman is confident the GOP won, and is mocking the Democrat account who is complaining on Twitter.

My point is that it was such a sure thing for the GOP that Democrats did not bother contesting it in 2016, and the entire decade. That they chose to go after it in 2018 and this year, says something about the amount of money sloshing around in the Democratic Party, thanks to plutocrats like Bloomberg. Good to know it’s still in GOP hands, but not exactly big news.

I find that shocking. Democrats are always such good losers.

Thank you thank you 🙏. I am so thrilled!!!!!! You made my night.

Not really...she’s a RINO, and the daughter of a corrupt RINO state senator. With few exceptions, there is no difference between GOP and Dem legislators in PA.

The Bucks District was looked at as a Bell weather special election

... broken glass Republicans have become Coronavirus Republicans - very good news indeed !!

PA primaries are in April 28. This was a special election.
