Wow, this Pennsylvania special election is close; the winner still hasn't been announced. If the Democrat, Lamb, wins, keep an eye on Trump's twitter; he'll probably be deleting all of the pro Saccone tweets:
Looks like POTUS has no coat tails. He may not be wanted for campaigning the rest of the year.
Lamb ahead by something like 600+ votes and military and some absentee still need to be counted
May take a week to get certified results but looks like he won in a totally gerrymandered district...
Despite Trump's self-adulatory stump for Saccone, despite the millions (11+) spent by PACs outside the state--
If a decent candidate can win with a smart-run campaign and a rational agenda in a district that is totally designed to flood the polls w/GOP voters, then I think there is hope in 2018. Trump claimed that Conor Lamb "hated the US"---this is a Marine officer who was a prosecutor in PA---
Lies don't work in situations like that...
Hopefully other districts will have viable candidates emerge--right now some primaries even in my state of TX were overrun with Democratic candidates and odds are not all running were as good a fit for that district as Lamb was for his...
So good luck to those in November--and Lamb ran a smart campaign--didn't use lot of national faces or "Hollywood" supporters--and talked about issues important to HIS district...labor/Union causes being one important factor...
Will POTUS finally put the sanctions on Russia. He signed a law passed by both the House and Senate which are veto proof yet he continues to not.
POTUS needs to step and hit his buddy Putin.
It's way too late for him to step up. JMO. Now, he needs to step down. Of course, he does not see the obvious.
Humiliating the Secretary of State, after Tillerson cleaned up Trump's messes is way over the top, even for that vile little man.
