Or they go to some obscure video website off in the deep net that has a rare video of this stuff

that's why they can learn the wrong lessons and be overconfident, stretching themselves far too thin, trying to win too many races at once

It's often a team effort into which significant financial resources are dumped. Hillary allocated MILLIONS of dollars into third-party organisations tasked with discovering dirt on Trump.

Most of which was unsuccessful beyond "grab them by the pussy" and so forth.

Not to mention the whole Steele doc situation

^

Though admittedly that was subsequent to his election.

But indeed that was discovered by Clinton's operatives.

Wasn’t most of the document proven false?

It was demonstrated to be a significantly unreliable dossier and in some cases, demonstrably false.

But some of the contents are simply UNPROVEN. But almost certainly inaccurate.

Right, I wonder how many people still believe it because saying a British spy discovered it sounds really official an nonpartisan

@Pielover19

the problem in PA18 was not turnout
it was turnover
a majority a Trump's voters in this district left their homes to vote
and they didn't vote for GOP this time

you need to remember a majority of registered voters in PA18 are Democrats

they abandoned Trump

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 have you considered that they didn't 'abandon' Trump

but just preferred Lamb to Saccone

because of certain stances

and character appeal

and are still intending to vote for Trump again in 2020

I agree with Red Storm.

I have no reason to believe they won't vote Trump in 2020.

Lamb is a great candidate, and some voters will think "Well, Lamb is basically a Republican, and he looks good, so I'll vote for him!"

But this is undoubtedly a continuation of a significant leftward trend among voting patterns.

Trump's approval in this district is 49-49

some polls,

It's all a matter of his approval being HIGHER than the next Democratic presidential candidate.

should it be 53%, so there is that 3 point MOE

If they run Oprah, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Bernie Sanders or most of the individuals on the ballot for 2020 they'll lose to Trump.

It'll take a very unique, moderate, white candidate to successfully court this district.

but there is no question, Trump's approval is weak in a lot of these White Working Class parts of the country that swung for him in 2016

Honestly, I don't trust the polls.

Even the most "reliable" ones were off by huge margins.

@[Lex] @Pielover19 If the GOP is going to survive, it's going to have to adopt strong measures of support for Working Class Whites. That means stopping immigration - legal & illegal, but it also means ensuring OSHA, WC, Pensions, even though I am against welfare as a general rule.

I might sound like a faggot asking this but what is the actual practicable approach to red storm

Button Mash is right.

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 I agree with you. Debt is already impossible to repay due to the federal reserve system existing as it does. We must make concessions relating to public finance in order to restore stability to demographics.

@a.narchist Great question!!!

so, do you keep track of the /rsg/ threads on /pol/

I don't actually I'm not too active on chan
