fools

Wolf has got to go

are you from PA

Yes. I actually live in District 18

Are you able to campaign there?

excellent! your vote is crucial!

I have been going back and forth. I really want to campaign for Mango for Governor. Not sure if I have 2 campaigns in me

PA-18 is in March, so just focus on that for now

I campaigned for Trump in 2016

once it's over, focus on the governor's race

and on the senate race

I'm worried about the District race just because it's going to be a very low turnout election I think.

No way could Lamb win in a normal election

your district should be safe

small, white towns all about

Yeah I'm in Suburban Pittsburgh probably the bluest part of the district and there are as many Saccone Signs as Lamb signs

I think we should be able to lock it up but we should have people campaigning there regardless.

Grassroots are important.

what was the ratio of R and D signs

Coal is a massive part of our Economy. Wayne and Washington County have massive multi billion dollar mines. Some of the biggest in North America

I mean Green not Wayne County

That should help Republicans

In my neighborhood probably about 50/50 I can count tomorrow

good

The Dem voters in the neighborhood are a lot like you would expect. Weardos and older women

lol, what kind of weirdo

found this may-may on /ptg/

we need more like it

definitely

once we get all the websites and all that infrastructure built up, then we can go ahead and start churning out content

so let me see if I have this right: we've got the subreddit, the twitter page, and the website?

@FLanon we have a subreddit with no subs, and a Twitter with no followers (yet)

Hopefully we have the WordPress website up soon

and of course, we habe Regular threads on /pol/

this discord

and a bunch of copypastas and memes on my Dropbox

Yeah once the website's up and running we'll definitely get some content made

btw, are you in charge of the subreddit and twitter page?

@FLanon @NittyMyMitten is in charge of the subreddit

and I have no experience with Twitter, so I shared the account with @Ḁ̢̧̡̝̭̀̓̇̈̑yeExEye̼̘̲ͨͬ

the thing is...I think Twitter did something with it

https://twitter.com/RedStorm_2018

"caution this account is temporarily restricted"

fuck these people

how did you get Charlie Kirk to follow you

Charlie Kirk follows fucking everyone

Like 216k accounts

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/962784821389996033

Well, that's the primary battle over just like that

Barletta's a good guy, definitely a guy to push

Have you thought about conta

wtf am I looking at

Did the Democrats propose this monstrosity?

Supposedly this is the Congress Maps that Pa Democrats want what was leaked. It's being circulated online. I'm not sure if it's real or not.

Are the colors the proposed districts?

Because those look even more unconstitutional than the current districts

If they're not the exact same districts, that is!

"This is my district. Conor is running a grassroots campaign. He is going to PTA meetings, Jewish community centers, School teacher meetings, local union chapters, and knocking on doors in all Allegheny, Washington, westmoreland and Greene counties. This type of campaigning means more than dumping money into tv ad buys."

Is that comment true on there? The one that says Republicans are outspending Lamb 15 to 1?

Jesus

Are we?

Apparently https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/powerpost/gop-allied-groups-heavily-outspend-democrats-in-special-pennsylvania-election/2018/02/05/4ed46e94-0a8b-11e8-8890-372e2047c935_story.html

I don't want us to blow our load before November like the dems are doing

These elections are important, but big picture, we're going to need to have that money for Nov 6

@Den >WaPo

if it's true, it's actually a good thing

Why would it be a good thing?

the Democrats have been overspending us in the past few special elections

it's good we do the same to them for once

What overspend?

No

We need to overspend on the big day

@FLanon I want to see the Democrats BTFO on the PA-18 race

This is small fish relative to November.

they've been gloating about their "overperformances" when really it's because they've been overspending

it's not like the GOP is going to blow all their money on this one race

they have too much to do that

I'd rather lose this election and get the seats we need in November

We need all the resources we can get, we cannot afford to match the left money-wise on anything other than November

I want to see them lose PA-18 also, but the thing is we've got more drastic stuff beyond that

This is how I see it

i'm not to sure how valuable the PA-18 race will be as an indicator for November,

there will be sizeable shift for the Dems regardless, simply because Murphy, who was popular among the general population, is not on the ballot

it's difficult to say just how conservative PA-18 really is,

because the district is relatively recently drawn

let's take a look to see how Trump performed here,

okay,

according to the data, Trump won here by a 10-20% margin,
which represents its voting habit in a neutral environment (without Murphy on the ballot, being popular and all)

it's definitely not the most pro-GOP area of the state,

but it's not like Georgia-6 (suburban, college-educated),

so assuming Trump can energize voters here, the GOP candidate (name escapes me) should be fine

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 the issue is that the Democrat candidate, Lamb, is doing a grassroots, door-to-door campaign and a good looking guy

Conor Lamb campaigns like how every GOP candidate should campaign

if Moore campaigned like he did, Doug Jones would have gotten BTFO

If an incumbent leaves in a scandalous position, their party will be weaker in the next election, look at Al Franken's seat, it's considered vulnerable, hell, back in '06, it turned out the congressman in my district was a pedophile and a dem won for the first time since 1993 in the area.
