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
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.
FL-16 btw
yeah, that is a problem, though the GOP still has the advantage in the race
it can all get better
unless,
I do hope Saccone doesn't sit on his ass and expect a win just because of that though
*shudder*
he turns about to be child molester
or...
he gets accused of being one
