Pennsylvania 18th Congressional District Special Election Megathread

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Folks, I think this one could get big after the holidays. This is Tim Murphy's old R+11 Pittsburgh suburbs and union blue collar border counties of PA district. Went about 19 ish points for Trump and like 17 for Romney. Hard but winnable for Democrats who have Conor Lamb, a moderate democrat, marine veteran, and former assistant us attorney for Western Pennsylvania. Republicans have current state rep and certified bible thumper Rick Saccone as their nominee. The GE will be on March 13 2018. I think this one is going to heat up in the next couple of weeks, dems have a good candidate that fits the district really well, while the GOP really crapped on themselves hear. As of today, I think this is around Lean R, and Saccone would win 53-45. But this should be competitive, uphill climb, but doable.

Ps. I wholeheartedly and fully endorse Conor Lamb.

Pps. I am no expert on the district or candidates so people please feel free to add more info, thanks!

I don't think he has been endorsed by Bannon, but I would not be surprised if he will be. He is pretty similar to Bannonites though. Hyprocritically religious, struggled to speak out against Moore, opportunist, hyper partisan, all around trash bag.

is saccone a bannonite?

He claims to be a Trump supporter. Other than that his record seems to be that of a typical right-winger.

Fingers crossed for Lamb. I'm not tired of winning yet.
