Saccone is a firm, conservative republican but ran a lackluster campaign.
—
Republicans need to upgrade their candidates. This guy was too worn out to campaign. And when he did, he wasn’t good at it.
Demos selected a young guy in Atlanta area to run and almost won. Dems have selected a young energetic guy to run in PA. Maybe republicans need to rethink a few things.
Saccone’s main problems IMHO:
1) He looks bad. In most of the ads he looks like a sloppily-dressed walrus. Not good when your opponent is young and telegenic.
2) He is a member of the PA Legislature, which is more than enough to make you distrust him right off the bat.
3) Republican voters are worn-out, disgusted and demotivated after years of pouring support behind Tim Murphy who turned out to be a two-timing plastic banana phony.
4) Democrats on the other hand are fully charged-up as the relentless Trump Hatred and calls to RESIST have them crawling over broken glass to get to the polls.
