There is good news in this. Message to democrats. Pro-gun Democrats can win.

He had an Ad of him shooting an AR-15. And said he is against additional gun control measures.

He might be lying. But they know gun control in most of the country will cost them elections .

If more democrats came to realize the importance of gun ownership, maybe more should be elected. I don’t want to HAVE to vote for one party no matter who it is to protect my gun rights. I want both parties to support my rights.

Dear RNC, who forgot to go to the farms of the Amish voters in PA18 who were instrumental in electing @realDonaldTrump? I’m hearing no one picked them up from their farms. Every vote counts!

 

[Phazer]

This election means nothing come Nov.

Yes. Mostly because the Democrat Lamb ran on a Republican platform: anti-Pelosi, pro-tax cuts, pro-military, anti-abortion. If he wins, one he gets to Washington he'll immediately be forced to get in line with the Democrat party and go against his campaign promises.

Democrat’s Strong Performance in Pennsylvania Shakes Trump and G.O.P.
LOS ANGELES — President Trump was hanging out here in the land of earthquakes, but he was 2,500 miles away from the tremor that really shook his party on Tuesday night.

While the president hobnobbed with wealthy donors in the exclusive enclave of Beverly Park, some of the voters who helped put him in the White House were turning on his chosen candidate in a special House election in Pennsylvania that took on outsize proportions.

Rick Saccone, the Republican candidate who wrapped himself in Mr. Trump’s cloak and drew the president to his district last weekend in a bid to rescue a faltering campaign, trailed Conor Lamb, a Democrat and former Marine seeking to show his party can compete even in red territory. Mr. Lamb held a lead of just over 800 votes early Wednesday, with absentee ballots still to be counted, but Democrats went ahead and claimed victory.

In warning for Trump, Democrat claims too-close-to-call Pennsylvania vote
CANONSBURG, Pa. (Reuters) - The Democrat candidate claimed a congressional election in a Republican heartland in Pennsylvania, as a vote seen as a referendum on Donald Trump’s performance as president remained officially too close to call early on Wednesday

This is how the fake media plays it...
The Pennsylvania special election shows the 2018 House battleground is enormous
By one calculation, more than 110 seats could theoretically be in play, based on tonight’s results.
Set aside who actually won the Pennsylvania special House election between Democrat Conor Lamb and Republican Rick Saccone — which we might not know for a while yet — and look at the big picture: Republicans are in big, big, big trouble.

Donald Trump won Pennsylvania’s 18th Congressional District by nearly 20 points. The House special election will be decided by less than a percentage point, in either Lamb or Saccone’s favor (and maybe after a recount?). That is a huge swing toward Democrats.

When you take a step back and look at the 2018 race for the House, you realize: There are more than 110 Republican-held House districts that Trump won by less than he won in the district where the Republican House candidate just effectively tied with the Democrat.

They all ignore this ...

The district political registration heavily favors the Democrat Conor Lamb with a +50,000 advantage in Democrat registered voters

Spin, spin, spin ...

 

[Jezman]

If you can't dazzle them with brilliance baffle them with bullshit.

 

[Grimscale]

The district political registration heavily favors the Democrat Conor Lamb with a +50,000 advantage in Democrat registered voters.

And yet, he is only winning by less than 200 votes. And only because he threw away the usual Democrat playbook and ran as a DINO.
That doesn't tell me the GOP is in big trouble, that tells me the Democrats are in big trouble and can only win by lying through their teeth!

 

[freddy]

damn, I hope to god no one has a hanging chad

For the ignorant folk like me:
Hanging chad

Isn't this district being redrawn or eliminated soon anyway?

  Obama team is working hard to redistrict as many states they can do and want to run small small races at local and state level. Just a 2-3% change by fake msm makes the difference. Everyone is not politically savvy like us and there are tons of folks who follow news on fake msm just for few mins and vote.

The CIA Democrats: Part one
Introduction
By Patrick Martin
7 March 2018
PART ONE | PART TWO | PART THREE

An extraordinary number of former intelligence and military operatives from the CIA, Pentagon, National Security Council and State Department are seeking nomination as Democratic candidates for Congress in the 2018 midterm elections. The potential influx of military-intelligence personnel into the legislature has no precedent in US political history.

If the Democrats capture a majority in the House of Representatives on November 6, as widely predicted, candidates drawn from the military-intelligence apparatus will comprise as many as half of the new Democratic members of Congress. They will hold the balance of power in the lower chamber of Congress.

Both push and pull are at work here. Democratic Party leaders are actively recruiting candidates with a military or intelligence background for competitive seats where there is the best chance of ousting an incumbent Republican or filling a vacancy, frequently clearing the field for a favored “star” recruit.
