Laura Ingraham is absolutely convinced that Lamb is a Republican at heart. Clearly, she knows none of his views.



It seems to me that Lamb makes Laura's biological clock tick a little faster.

"Basically a tie" in what would normally be a safe R seat is ok to them?

The interesting thing is, lying to themselves doesn't put an end to the electoral bloodbath waiting later this year. At best, it's just their public face and they understand the implications privately. At worst, they are actively deluding themselves, thus potentially hindering their ability to do things that could help blunt the impact of a backlash in November.

Personally, I don't think there is much they can do at this point, but if there was anything, stuffing Trump away in the west wing, taking his phone away and basically making him a ghost would probably help somewhat. Most of the GOP's problems right now are of Trump's own making. The man is a walking scandal. If it isn't something from his past, it's something new coming from his mouth and/or twitter account.

^This

Trump's need to constantly view himself as popular handicaps the ability of Republicans to actually engage in course correction. Trump will refuse to believe that the party's problem's stem from his actions.

Yup.

Looking through how Lamb did in the part that will be part of the new PA-17, baring now major changes, I don't see how he doesn't win in November. I think you could logically rate that district as Lean D.

Y'all would've seen the picture months ago if you started following the race from the jump. Smiley

I remember it well, and commented that Lamb seemed like a joke candidate until I learned this was a Halloween parade.

Does anyone think there's a chance that Saccone doesn't concede, ala Moore?

For people who were so quick to dismiss him as another "Pelosi Liberal", the Republicans seem eager to claim him as their own.

Once they lose, it's shows their lies attacking any democrat as a radical leftist.

LOL @ the Republican spin that "Conor Lamb is practically a Republican".

Are we going to hear that excuse on November 6 too? "The Democrats may have retaken the House, but many of these newly elected Democratic representatives are in fact true conservatives and closet Trumpists!"

Just realized Lamb will be second youngest person in Congress, he's only 5 days older than Elise Stefanik.
He's five days younger isn't he? Stefanik was born on July 2nd and Lamb was born on June 27th.

Well, if Lamb goes on to represent the 17th, I will guarantee you that he'll vote for Pelosi.

Nope.  Earlier birthday = older.

I would like to apologize to the good people of southwestern Pennsylvania and soon-to-be Congressman Conor Lamb for underestimating them.

I would also like to apologize to Pittsburgh Steel who was right all along about this race. I am writing this with a mouthful of crow to find that my Saccone+3 prediction was actually way off!

I seem to recall Steel predicting Lamb +6, so I think you're actually closer than him.

But he was right about Lamb winning in the end. I was not, regardless of the margin.
