I don't think most of that had anything to do with his win. That's just the reality you want.

I’m just listing the facts. I know they confuse you.
But you’re right there was another major reason. The strong anti Trump sentiment even in coal and steel country.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Lamb won, first of all, because of the persona he projected: it was convincing and caring. Saccone looked like a mobster in comparison.

Lamb won, second of all, because his position were acceptable to a majority of voters.

Lamb won, third of all, because blood red PA 18 could not bring enough votes to support Trump's candidate.

They decided Trump is too weak.

No, you are listening to the voices in your head and they are confusing you

I agree: Priorities - Conor Lamb

He stuck to the issues that were important locally.

 

[Coyote]

I like Lamb's platform...would be nice to see it reflected in Democrat's national platform.

I see you couldn’t even list one point where I was wrong. You’re obviously not very bright but that seems to be a prerequite to be a mod here.

Conor Lamb won because:

1. He'll oppose Trump

 

[Rambunctious]

Lamb is Trumps calm soft spoken mini me....

How many points in my OP list does Trump support?

 

[Coyote]

Conor Lamb won because:

1. He'll oppose Trump

Not really. He remained relatively neutral on Trump.

Let's make this simple, Lamb won because he is a democrat and the republican party is now the party of stupid when they aren't giving tax breaks to the rich. The fool quoted below has a lot to do with it too if your mind is not frozen solid.

I'm pretty sure you're correct about 1 through 5 and number 7. I think he's anti-choice. though I could be wrong.

Conor Lamb won because:

1. He'll oppose Trump

he didn't say that.... he said he'll oppose bad policy. although, I guess by extrapolation that means he'll oppose trump.

why would you think that"?

is that what the voices in your head are telling you?

Lamb is for Trump's tariffs he is a member of the NRA he promised to work with Trump he supports Trump's tax cuts and said he liked the Judge Trump appointed to the Supreme court and he is strongly against sanctuary cities and supports deportation of illegal alien criminals...And he supports the wall...

 

[TheOldSchool]

Conor Lamb won because:

1. He'll oppose Trump

Not really. He remained relatively neutral on Trump.

Because Trump won his district by 20 points. In the next election he won't have the GOP's criminal gerrymandering to deal with.

I think the Dems need to move beyond the Republican playbook of "anti-" - they need to forumulate a coherent message that goes beyond "Trump is horrible" (even though I agree) if they want to build on this.

He was appointed to that race, and did not have to compete against the regular, left wing extremists....

He ran as a pro-life, pro-gun, against an assault weapon ban, for Trump's tariffs, never attacked or insulted Trump, attacked nancy pelosi......he supports coal and fracking.....

He ran as a Trump republican.
