Dude you are living proof that inbreeding and prenatal lead exposure are a bad fucking combo.

Dude, chick?.... you are living proof of a semi living, semi breathing life form that has no fucking clue whether you are fucking coming or going.

You hate this, you love this, you support this and that and the lines blur. Are you black or white, are you a woman or a man? Do you hate yourself for jerking off while thinking of your relatives? You are an angry fucking weirdo from what I gather.

Calm down sister.

The man is certifiable

Trump to donors today spinning out fantasies in real time:

“The young man last night that ran, he said, ‘Oh, I’m like Trump. [NO] Second Amendment, everything [Since when is that you?]. I love the tax cuts, everything [No, he ran against the tax cuts].’ He ran on that basis [pure lie],” Trump said at a fundraiser in Missouri on Wednesday, according The Atlantic. “He ran on a campaign that said very nice things about me. [Delusional] I said, ‘Is he a Republican? He sounds like a Republican to me. [No, you called him Lamb the Sham]’”

Exactly.

Lamb is a CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRAT

Not a deplorable shitstain like Trump, Moore, Pence, Santorum, Saccone, Ryan, etal...

Do you all remember that there is such a thing as a Conservative Democrat?

Is a conservative Democrat deplorable when they are on your side?

Hmmmm, damnit. Don't make us have to think about this type of shit.

 

[JohnnySavage]

I live in the district right across the boarder from PA, and am stuck in the Pittsburgh tv market. Lamb won (in my opinion) because Saccone's tv ads were so over the top and flat out lies. ...and on the tv non-stop! People got tired of looking at his creepy face.

 

[Wrong Element]

He's pro life and pro guns.

Also pro-ACA and anti-Trump's tax law. There's a big difference between a Democrat with some non-liberal views and a 100% Trump supporter, which is what the liar-in-chief is now claiming Lamb is after being humiliated.

Interesting fact: a lot of money for the campaigns came from sources outside the districts. Lamb was the beneficiary of 2.6 million outside dollars to help him win. Saccone collected over four times as much, 10.7 million outside dollars, and lost.

Now that's 10.7 million dollars that won't be available to help other campaigns later this year. Even with their tax breaks, a lot of Republican donors are going to balk at tossing out more money after this.

One reason the GOP tried so hard to keep this one seat, aside from the fact that raising all sorts of special interest money is easy for them and getting easier, is that they were worried that a Saccone loss would inspire even more retirements. Gee, it would be a shame if that happened.

This race was 50/50. Go look at the results and try to honestly say differently. It's so close it's a political photo finish. That doesn't say anything about a rejection of Trump or R's or an embrace of D's. It means that the electorate was equally divided on the issues. You can say "but Trump won by 20 points" and that would be true. But Saccone isn't Trump so what Trump did is irrelevant to THIS race. That's the equivalent of saying that Nixon won by yada yada yada and Obama...

I'll try this one more time even though you seem unusually obtuse. Let's say Nancy Pelosi's seat were to come open, and it was somehow narrowly won by a Republican in a reaction against a corrupt and incompetent Democrat in the White House. If various Dems came on here to say "Hey, it was 50/50 and we almost won, so this doesn't prove a single thing," neither you nor anyone with a brain would find that persuasive.

This is the same thing. This is not a district where a Democrat could ever win outside of something that really shakes up politics. PA-18 is, among other things, one of the whitest districts in the entire country.

But by all means, keep believing the vote Tuesday, and the defeat of the man who campaigned as "I was Trump before Trump was Trump," had nothing whatsoever to do with the president.

Not to quibble, but HisHerpy doesn't seem any more obtuse than usual.

In any event, it's been quite amusing watching the various rationalizations being spun here and on Fox. Fox is reinventing history, succoring its base into believing Saccone was a deeply flawed candidate who should have NEVAR had the GOP nod in the first place. Deeply Flawed, Dammit!!

I do. I'm even old enough to remember when there were liberal Republicans.

Haven't seen a real live conservative Democrat since Scoop Jackson and Sam Nunn.

Even longer since I've seen a liberal Republican....Nelson Rockefeller maybe?

 

[Aglaopheme]

So republicans now support expanded background checks, a woman choice, the ACA, Unions and are against the “give away” Trump tax bill. Good to know.

He’s not a conservator Democrat. I know a lot of progressives that hunt and shoot regularly. No one is “pro abortion”, you either believe it’s ultimately the woman's
choice or you don’t.

 

[Adre]

Lamb is solidly rooted in the tradition of Bob Casey and his father, moderate pro life union friendly Pennsylvania Democrats, regardless of the knashing and whinging of the Lit BroPatrol.

 

[Aglaopheme]

Look, all men are “personally against” abortions, with exceptions for some trans men, they can’t have one! He believes abortions should be legal, end of story.

THIS is where you make your mistake. I can't seem to get you to see that you're projecting something that isn't there and trying to use that as THE REASON Lamb won.

You don't KNOW that Lamb won because XYZ. That's a complete projection on your part. I'm telling you to go look at the results and analyze them from a neutral basis.

But no, you'd rather crow that the D's won because Trump.

 

[Aglaopheme]

Yeah, a Democrat winning a gerrymandered seat held by Republicans since the 90s doesn’t say anything about Democrats or Republicans, silly!

Well then tell us smartmouth, what does it say about races in California? Utah? North Dakota?

C'mon, you know all the answers, unpack them for the rest of us. Rub that crystal ball.

*eeny meeny, chili beany*

You and binky need to make like Thelma & Louise.

Identity politics sure put a stop to that.

I'm not.

 

[BotanyBoy]

Look, all men are “personally against” abortions, \.

Nope.....

 

[Aglaopheme]

I'm not.

And, if you ever personally need to have an abortion, I respect and believe in your right to do so. If you support legal abortions, then there is no light between you and Lamb.

How many Republicans Roe v Wade?

 

[Aglaopheme]

Nope.....

And you get an abortion!
