GOP Narrative on PA-18 Is Wrong

I had read that Allegheny was the only county that Lamb won. This may not bode well for Keith Rothfus (Lamb’s opponent in November).

[DoodleDawg]

Saccone may very well do the same.

Regardless of the district there has to be a better candidate than Saccone.

[Dr. Ursus]

Which is ironic that the Republican is representive of most of the people in his district.

[KavMan]

There won't be many Connor Lamb's for Democrats!

He didn't even have to run in a PRIMARY!

There won't be many Connor Lamb's challenging Republicans, more like many more Sanders & Warrens which voters will reject

[jyo19]

Just look at how much money Emily’s List, Bernie’s campaign organization and Planned Parenthood spent trying to stop Dan Lipinski - a very leftist Congressman from Illinois who happens to not like abortions and obamacare - and you’ll see exactly how much Conor Lam-eness will be accepted by awful left.

[jyo19]

There was, his name was Murphy but he literally screwed himself out of an easy, do-nothing job for life. And that’s the reason Lamb even won the seat in the first place.

Until the leadership changes, the R’s are in trouble.

Until the leadership changes, the Republic is in trouble.

Fixed it for you.

Star misses the point. Paul Ryan’s PAC was in charge...and ran ONLY tax cut ads. NOTHING on immigration — the most important issue to 18th Trump voters.

So, are republicans going to have to start promising free Obamaphones?

No. Were they offered in 2016?

[Chewbarkah]

Not much except momentum.

[Retvet]

Biggest problem the Republican party has is the obstructionist in their party. McCain because Trump got elected and he didn’t. Mitch McConnell a swamp eel, making money from China. Flake a RINO. Marco upset Trump beat him in primary same for a couple others. Vanity runs deep in the GOP. People, get with the platform or your a__es will be grass and fire season is coming.

“....That is why he was able to say that he is a conservative Democrat. Lamb will vote exactly the same way the Nancy Pelosi votes.”

And he will likely be voted out this November

Had Saccone been man enough to serve his nation in uniform he’d have made up the difference and possibly learned to carry himself a bit better. My reading of the Marine was that he’s a JAG officer that never found himself in a combat zone. Duncan Hunter he isn’t.

Re: “Gingrich rightly points out the critical importance that Republicans build support among minorities.”

Impossible.

Huge majorities of Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians categorically reject the basic principles of American Conservatives.

[Vigilanteman]

To be fair, Saccone is an air force veteran. He just didn’t make it the centerpiece of his campaign. Lamb made his over seas service in the U.S.M.C. as his record to run. What he didn’t tell voters is that said assignment was behind a desk in Okinawa and lasted slightly over one year.

[MSF BU]

I stand corrected and I apologize. He kept it pretty well hidden and should have pointed that out. You are correct, LAMB was no Duncan Hunter, that’s for sure.
