President Donald Trump praised Conor Lamb, the winner of the Congressional special election in Pennsylvania, for running a smart campaign on his agenda. “He said very nice things about me. I kept saying, is he a Republican? He sounded like a Republican to me,” Trump said. “But I guess when you’re popular in a certain area, that’s probably a good tactic.”
Trump made his remarks during a closed-door fundraiser in Missouri on Wednesday evening. Audio of his remarks leaked to several media outlets.
“It’s a pretty smart race, actually,” Trump admitted. “But he ran and he ran on that basis. But the bottom line is when he votes, he’s going to vote with Nancy Pelosi … he’s not going to vote with the Republicans. So it doesn’t matter, what he feels doesn’t matter.”

The Republican candidate ran a horrible campaign. Why won’t GOP candidates run on Trump’s platform? Bashing Nancy isn’t going to work this time.
He’s right. I don’t fault Lamb. Newly elected go in guns blazing. BUT the Left wing of the DNC will shut him down and make him fall in line...
True dat.
Only idiots would expect Democrats to vote like Republicans.
Lamb did a masterful job of fooling people in PA-18 into believing he is a conservative Trump acolyte!
Bottom line though: he will vote as Nancy Pelosi tells him to vote. That’s all that really matters.

I’m sure Trump is right. When the rubber hits the road, he’ll be right there with Pelosi and the rest of the Rats. It’s like the GOPs who ran as Tea Party candidates, then went left as soon as they were safely seated.
We’re going to see a lot of this phony “middle-of-the-road” Rats in campaigns. They saw it worked for Pretty Boy, there’s no way they haven’t learned from that.
Lamb’s term is short lived. He’ll be middle road till November when he runs for re-election. Then, should he be reelected, we’ll see the radical leftie that lurks beneath.
I never trust former Marines that vote Democrat. More often than not they go on to earn the title of “ex-marine.” (An insult to former Marines!)
” We shall see” You can bet on it!
The district is gone in 2018.
It’s like joining the Mafia. They tell what is required of you before you burn the holy card. All “conservative, blue dog Democrats” are Frauds. They will turn Mary Landrieu when they are in a bind. Remember how “pro life” Mary Landrieu turned traitor and accepted the pro-abortion provisions of Obamacare because Democrats didn’t have the votes to pass it without her?
Democrats can hide many of there extreme projects through the avenue of block grants. Through the block grants they can give large amounts of money to vaguely worded categories like “women health”, “civil rights”, “human rights” etc. They are masters of disguise. When a Democrat’s lips are moving—they are lying.
In hte end, Lamb will love himself some dead babies and grabbing guns from American citizens....he’s a Democrat, that’s what he is.
McMaster fired
Rush said the GOP gave money under the table to help Lamb. I would believe it.
“The district is gone in 2018.”
I know that. Lamb is certain to run for a seat in the new district or one of the new districs......in the meantime his liberal leanings will be under wraps. When elected to the new district he’ll shed his “conservative cocoon and emerge as a full on Pelosi led Democrat.
That was Rahm Emmanuel's strategy for taking Congress in order to allow Obamacare to be voted in.
“Lamb did a masterful job of fooling people in PA-18 into believing he is a conservative Trump acolyte!”
Expect more of that from Democrats in November. Republicans better be prepared.
Until the old Rat guard goes by the boards, this is all they can do.
Yup, it’s a given or the Democrat-Communists will make him mow the grass!
He will vote conservative unless his single vote will make a difference. It won’t before the mid-term elections. Dems play this game well. Their bottom line is winning.
Mary Landrieu Snellings was never pro-life!
