Meh let them. It’s talking heads crap anyway. The same people who bash bash bash bash to no avail. If we win close let them have a moral victory while I flip the bird
“If the Rep does not beat the dem by the same margin Trump won it ... “
This is why the Dems throw away good money on these special elections ... they create a narrative since it’s going to be closer when they focus all resources on a single district.
On occasion, they’ll win (VA state races though that state has been trending D, AL Senate seat, PA Connor Lamb race (and Lamb ran as a Republican ... kind of like what he’s doing now in a different PA district). They use these “close” narratives and “surprise win” elections as reasons to go and beg for more money from donors.
Bottom line is don’t get all worked up if this OH seat turns into a (unlikely) loss ... however, do work to insure you drag solid votes for sanity to the polls this fall as that election is going to be ridiculously important!!! Big wins for us this fall translates into a crippled Rat party heading into 2020.
