Yup, and 100% voted against Nancy Pelosi.
Libtardos had to run an ex-military candidate holding an AR-15, previously a prosecutor, and stating he wouldn't vote for Pelosi to win an election. And he may not win.
Looks to me like we had two Republicans running against each other.
Conservatives are winning which ever way you look at it, libtardos.
When you can't get Republicans to vote for the Republican--it's very serious. This election is a tell tale sign of what is coming for Republicans this coming NOVEMBER in the midterm election cycle.
Trump won this district by 20 points in November 2016. Over the last several election cycles this district has ALWAYS voted for the Republican. For Connor Lamb to even get this close is nothing short of a miracle.
This is a big steel district, Trump promised them steel tariffs on a whim. Trump went down there to campaign for Rick Saccone twice. Mike Pence went down there to campaign for Saccone. Trump Jr. was down there today to rally the crowds. The RNC dumped 10 million into Saccone's campaign just so he could keep up with the local funding Lamb was able to get.
YES it is a referendum on TRUMP.
Yes, the Pennsylvania election is about Donald Trump - CNNPolitics"Everyone agrees the race is close. No one agrees why. Is this mostly about Trump? Saccone? Lamb? Murphy? Local radio talk show host Delano replies: In a district that Donald Trump won by nearly 20 points and no Democrat has come close to winning in decades, it's undeniable, in my view, that this election is a referendum on the performance of President Trump. On the ground, it's been a coalition of anti-Trump groups, many that sprouted after Trump's election and led by women, that have been the volunteer backbone of the Lamb campaign."
This is going to scare the shit out of Republicans that are running in districts that aren't so predominately Republican. Which is why 39 House Republicans have already announced their early retirements and will not seek reelection in 2018. This race should convince a lot more Republicans to drop out.

I don't feel a bit sorry for you. You were warned a 1000 times about Trump, you ignored all those warnings and voted for him anyway.
Welcome to your new majority leaders.
If Republicans can do 8 investigations into Benghazi, what do you think these two will do with Treason, Obstruction & Lies--
Of course that is, if Trump makes it to the midterm election cycle? Republicans may impeach him now, before it's too late. This race is a yuuuuuge shot across their bow. One thing for certain they'll have to run from Trump now, possibly even campaign against him in a desperate attempt to save their own seats.
Somebody forgot to tell Trump that Netherlands alone imports $750 million worth of coal alone... Brazil is a Billion... They will simply buy that of Australia...
Trump's Steel tariffs could cost coal country big...
On the other side... EU could have an economic war with Russia and they need Gas for that... So US supporting UK could actually create jobs in places like Texas...
Ireland just did a deal with Texas to import Gas in the future... US can benefit but look after their allies first... EU doesn't want to fight the US, actually they want to work with the US... It is a mutually beneficial arrangement...
I think Trump's announcement for steel tariffs was nothing more than a stunt for this race. The 18th district of Pennsylvania is a yuuuuge steel district. Trump just announced these tariff's on a whim, and didn't inform the justice department (that are required to review existing trade agreements) he didn't inform the treasury department, he didn't inform congress, he didn't even inform his cabinet of these tariffs. And he didn't even inform his economic adviser--that quit over Trump's announcement.

I imagine the steel tariffs go away now that this race is over--regardless of who wins this race.
