The Democratic candidate ran off of a lot of Republican policies
5. Lamb virtually ran as a Republican
yes!
more!
Lamb was much younger and higher energy than Saccone which looked like a relic comparatively
Plus Lamb was a former Marine
The White Party is going to have to cut some sacred cows of Muh GOP. If it's going to survive, it's going to have to adopt strong measures of support for Working Class Whites. That means stopping immigration - legal & illegal - obviously Also means ensuring OSHA, WC, Pensions
The dipshit Rick Saccone lost because he didn't go to bat for coal miners' pensions. Think of it. Taking the pensions away from coal miners. That is the Paul Ryan GOP.
Muh libertarian small gov conservativism is dead. Whatever chance it had was lost in the flood of immigration. Triage. If you wanna save any of the traditional rights of Englishmen, you gonna need to accept some form of collective well being. Because we have to transcend class
Republicans vaguely waving their hands around and talking about tax cuts are kidding themselves by ignoring this. Economic populism, civic nationalism, immigration restriction, no entitlement cuts. This isn't rocket science. Conservatism Inc. is dead. Move on.
What if every senator and representative over the age of 60 just randomly died on the same day because of God?
@🎃Boo-ton🎃 Don't you mean Neo-Conservative inc is dead?
Yeah
Modern day conservatism isn't even really that conservative.
Very few "conservatives" are paleoconservative.
Today's conservatives are yesterday's liberals
Yup.
Did the military ballots come in?
wait it out
For PA-18?
@Pielover19 the NRCC is filing a lawsuit to check for voter fraud
That it's official.
I still think Lamb will win, however
as I predicted a week ago
although, I imagined Saccone or Lamb would be within 2-3 points of victory, not 1 point
It's more like 0.2 points.
More of an upset for Saccone, considering the polling.
Trump gave him a bump to make it competitive.
To be fair to those business Republicans, they are useful for Governerships in blue states.
Like Marlyand, Massachusetts, etc.

How did Lamb pull off a (probable) victory in a Trump +20 seat? Dems turned out at 79% of 2016 votes. GOP just 53%. Data:
Lamb votes as % of Clinton total votes:
78.5%
Saccone votes as % of Trump total:
52.5%
Lamb as % of Obama total:
79.4%
Saccone as % of Romney:
55.8%
We need R turnout.
@jpc1976 me and many others were following this race since months ago. From what we could tell, Saccone was sitting on his ass expecting to coast by on voter demographics while Lamb was busting his ass meeting as many voters as possible, while stressing that he is going to be a conservative-ish pro-worker Democrat who is independent of Nancy Pelosi
Honestly Lamb deserves the victory at this point. Even though I may not agree with the party he actually put effort into his campaign which makes me have respect for him
