Even if Saccone loses, he’ll win the newly drawn PA-14 which he already announced he’s running in later this year. :sigh:

Much like them claiming Alabama was always a blue state, they're now going to claim that PA-18 was always a Blue District and I guess Santorum was actually a Democrat or something.

They can't do poo poo about it. PA Supreme Court already drew the new maps and the Sec. of State is a Dem. Those are the maps.

I'm baffled by people asking why a dead heat in a Trump +20 matters. Like how broke brained do you have to be to not see how that matters? Democrats now have the green light to run hard everywhere. It doesn't matter to special cynical boys who are smarter than the rest, because they know that nothing matters.

It probably heralds a blue wave regardless, but a +20 swing ending in a narrow loss feels a lot worse than a +20 swing ending in a narrow win. And that feeds back into voter enthusiasm in subsequent races. So the difference does matter a bit.

GOP in November if Blue Wave does end up happening

"Well of course they won. The historical trend is that the midterms always favor the party not currently in the white house. It's no big deal!"

Don't expect these idiots to ever admit even a little bit the real reason why they are losing special elections in districts that tend to lean heavily republican.

As broke brained as you'd have to be to vote for trump in the first place. I'm sure there's a Harvard study somewhere declaring half of america stupid as gently caress.
