There’s a special election coming up in PA-18 on March 13. It’s for an open house seat vacated by Tim “I’m anti-abortion, but would gladly ask a mistress to get an abortion during a pregnancy scare” Murphy (sorry if people are friends with him on here ... I used to defend the man constantly as I live in the area ... to see him do what he did disgusted me ... we all sin, but for God’s sake, asking a woman to get an abortion like that?).
Fortunately, we have an A+ candidate stepping in. The guy we want to win is Rick Saccone ... a Trump Republican all the way.
He is running against Connor Lamb ... Lamb is running like he’s a conservative (he’s a Marine), but he’s a liberal through and through and won’t have any problems being a slave to Nancy Pelosi’s whims when needed.
This election is getting national attention and national dollars are pouring in.
This is a solid red district and Saccone would be a great successor to Tim Murphy.
If Saccone loses, I’d be worried that the Dems might be onto something strategically. If Saccone wins big (Murphy won against the last Dem that campaigned against him 64-36 in 2016).
Yes, losing local/state special elections is not good since winning = demorialization of the socialists. This race is the one to watch though.
Sorry ... a sentence was truncated :-)
If Saccone wins big, I don’t think things are shaping up to be a “blue wave” this fall.
That’s what I meant to say.
Pa 18 is indeed the bellweather canary in the coal mine. Blue collar trump area. Must win republican district. Trump and pence have campaigned there and will again. Thats the big one that matters.
The PA-18 race is a big test. The media has been hiding the legislative races and the bluetards are turning out their base. We need to get the word out to conservative friends, family, and co-workers to get out and vote for Rick Saccone.
