A Lamb Wins the PA 18th District

[newfie]

So desperate, not all candidates fully agree with the national party, that doesn't mean they are running as the opposition. Trump ran against free trade, a hallmark position of Republicans for decades, that doesn't mean he ran as a democrat.

you're off topic again . we talking about saccone or trump or lamb?

We're talking about the democrat that just won a seat in an R+18 district. I'm pointing out how absurd your contention that he ran as a republican is. Ttku

He co-opted Republican issues just like Bill Clinton did in '96. Clinton was advised by a Republican. Interesting that Democrats turn to Republican ideas when campaigning. Don't you guys have anything outside of the identity politics that appeal to minorities? Must get tiresome.

According to the exits, healthcare was the most important issue in this election. Lamb campaigned on universal coverage. His stance on gun laws, especially since it was in line with his opponent's, was not a factor that would change votes.

What facts are those? The exit polls showing 54% of voters viewed healthcare as the number one issue in the election?

I thought he only won because he was a republican?

the facts we were discussing on how conner lamb presented himself as being a republican which you still have not been able to dispute. try to keep up

he won by adopting the republican positions that were key to keeping democratic voters from switching as they had for trump. this was and is the difference if the 600 vote margin holds up.

He did no such thing, you're reaching. You still haven't countered that if the voters wanted a republican why didn't they vote for the one on the ballot.

And I suspect the majority of those polled view Obamacare as a disaster and were looking for someone who'd straighten it out.

That only makes sense if this was a democrat district. It is R+18.

And they didn't like the solutions republicans tried to implement.

Is it R+18 or was that from the presidential election where so many Dems flipped?

 

[vantexan]

Well we'll never know how those solutions would've worked huh? If healthcare was the number one issue it can only be their view of Obamacare, which is still alive and kicking.

Is currently R+18. Its voted republican for the last 20 years. Democrats didn't even bother running a challenger for the last few elections.

Which only confirms that Lamb won by talking like a Republican. He didn't convert a bunch of staunch Republicans over to being Liberal Democrats. And he barely won at that.

You are aware the district was redrawn by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania prior to the election.

It's not the same district, the boundaries were redrawn to make it competitive for the democrats.
