Nobody liked her

2018-03-14 04:40:44 UTC  

But question, how many votes are left to count?

2018-03-14 04:40:52 UTC  

She only won her senate seat because of a special election with poor state-wide turnout

2018-03-14 04:40:59 UTC  

~4000

2018-03-14 04:41:38 UTC  

Are you serious? 4,000?

2018-03-14 04:42:00 UTC  

There were 7000 total absentee ballots, and 3000 for Allegheny County have already been counted.

2018-03-14 04:42:03 UTC  

Precinct results are not currently available in Westmoreland County, a heavily Republican part of the district. We’re monitoring the county-level results closely, but for now we can’t responsibly make a forecast without more detailed information about where in Westmoreland County the votes are coming from.

2018-03-14 04:42:35 UTC  

Yeah I saw that.

2018-03-14 04:42:40 UTC  

But how many are in that county

2018-03-14 04:42:54 UTC  

Why does it even matter if we win or lose, it's one seat. What matters is the Democrat came so close from a district Trump carried by 20.

2018-03-14 04:43:16 UTC  

Yeah.

2018-03-14 04:43:19 UTC  

And the DNC will get the tip to, "oh run more of these Conservative Democrat memes"

2018-03-14 04:43:19 UTC  

That is true. I think it’s due to the candidate

2018-03-14 04:43:31 UTC  

He was a bit weak

2018-03-14 04:43:38 UTC  

Has Greene County been counted yet?

2018-03-14 04:44:10 UTC  

Not the Absentees

2018-03-14 04:44:13 UTC  

But really? 4,000? Geez, it's still anyone's game then.

2018-03-14 04:44:29 UTC  

The thing about it is, Pennsylvania Democrat used to be a meme

2018-03-14 04:44:51 UTC  

So that memory is still there in some places when you have a Democrat who served they're likely to get viewed as PA-D

2018-03-14 04:45:20 UTC  

It's like a 50-turn game of mario party where it all comes down to happening space stars and nobody kept count.

2018-03-14 04:45:49 UTC  

Why is this a perfect comparison?

2018-03-14 04:48:57 UTC  

Because they're both infuriating, semi luck based, ruin friendships, and feels like an eternity to slog through but means next to nothing in the end.

2018-03-14 05:16:51 UTC  

My takeaway from this election:
1. Democrats Have A MAJOR Enthusiasm Advantage.
2. Trump’s Popularity Matters.
3. Democrats Are Running Better Candidates.

2018-03-14 05:17:04 UTC  

2018-03-14 05:34:55 UTC  

Way better candidates. Saccone was an Israel First, Asian wife having, big business loving neo con

2018-03-14 05:35:41 UTC  

Where was his rhetoric on helping the working class in his district? Where was the opioid talk? Where was the talk on getting rid of the illegals taking the blue collar jobs under the table and still collecting welfare?

2018-03-14 05:35:46 UTC  

No where.

2018-03-14 05:37:30 UTC  

He talked about Israel, no working class guy gives a fuck about who Israel wants to bomb next. That was just for Saccone to get AIPAC bucks, and guess what, the Dem out fundraised him 5 to 1. He threw his base under the bus in order to fundraise when it's never going to be close in these races; the Dems are going hard in all small elections as part of their guerrilla strategy, the same one that the GOP did in 2010

2018-03-14 05:38:10 UTC  

The Dem talked about Opioids, about healthcare, about gun rights, about getting people to work. These are things people like.

2018-03-14 05:38:57 UTC  

Saccone is going to win

2018-03-14 05:39:01 UTC  

Did Saccone have anything on his website about immigration? The #1 issue for voters and all he had was about MS-13 and terrorists. Where are the terrorists in coal country PA?

2018-03-14 05:40:04 UTC  

It doesn't matter if he wins or not, it's redistrcited, but what matters is they did a 20 point shift, because the GOP put out another Roy Moore.

2018-03-14 05:40:22 UTC  

If he wins, it can be bad for us also, since now he's an incumbant and has an advantage in the primaries.

2018-03-14 05:40:37 UTC  

@Deleted User you're somewhat correct

2018-03-14 05:40:48 UTC  

what GOP voters care about is culture

2018-03-14 05:41:19 UTC  

the feeling that the American way of life (White Christian America) is under assault

2018-03-14 05:41:40 UTC  

Culture compasses of many issues,

2018-03-14 05:41:43 UTC  

immigration,

2018-03-14 05:42:03 UTC  

well, mostly immigration, actually

2018-03-14 05:42:34 UTC  

If Republicans do not campaign around the culture war,

2018-03-14 05:42:38 UTC  

they will lose
