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?

Reddit is saying Lamb won in an upset.

@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.

@Deleted User @FLanon

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

@GermanEastAfrica And he was a terrific candidate who I believe will become president one day. This man has JFK-tier optics. Friendly face, family man, postures himself as a moderate, tried and tested opponent of the opioid crisis and a force for moderation in a political climate nostalgic for past political stability.

He's a dangerous fellow for people of our political disposition.

And the military background helps with the veteran connection
