I agree with the premise, but their violent base won’t let them - thank God.

Democrat candidates posing as Americans are nothing new.
They’ve been doing this for decades.

Problem is, each new generation of voters has to learn for themselves not to trust the Democrat Party candidates’ public posturing. And by then the damage has been done.

Don’t think Democrat candidates all over the country aren’t picking Lamb’s campaign apart looking for ideas to use in their own runs. His is the prime example of how to win. Hillary’s campaign was a prime example on how to lose.

We'll see. A chance to win is a powerful motivator.

Is it a done deal or will there be a run off?

One visit by the Perez gang from the DNC and Conor Lamb’s mind will be “corrected.”

This is a fart in a whirlwind, IMO. Nearly everything he campaigned on was an echo of Trump and he’ll get exposed when he votes with Pelosi when he’s in the House. Some of his voters will realize they’ve been scammed. Throw in the fact the district is totally redrawn for the fall election and he’ll have to move to stay in the district, then the whole thing really loses meaning.

Dems can take the House because low unemployment and a booming economy don’t fuel the liberal agenda.

This is a silly statement. It’s like saying if you cat could bark you could use her as a vicious watch dog. The problems Democrats have are deep and they are philosophically at odds with the American people. Those who want to be frightened in March are probably those who secretly believed Trump would get smashed in 16.

Not convinced? Look up what happened in 1984 when Walter Mondale promised to raise taxes. Now throw in anti- American Whites pro illegal aliens and anti- NRA.

They’ll end up killing each other. I’m only slightly joking.

Republicans and independents can thumb their noses at antifa, blm, feminists LGBQXYZ nutcases, etc. The D party can’t.

What would be best, but is unlikely, would be the banning of political parties. Everyone runs on their own merits. Crazy, I know.

I read that Paul Ryan’s PAC actually paid for Lamb’s pro-gun ad. Other GOP funds also filtered into his campaign.

Moderation in all things, especially Democrats.

As the president pointed out, he’ll vote with Pelosi. He’s nothing more than a wet-behind-the-ears Ken Doll back bencher.

People have to be smarter than to fall for what politicians say before they’re elected.

What if they held a special election and nobody won?

This is so totally not true. With the winner takes all nature of elections, the losing 50% - 1 vote have absolutely NO say in what their representative does. He may have run as a conservative Democrat, but I'll wager he votes with the rest of the pack of scum on tax increases, gun control ,illegal immigration amnesty, etc. and the people who didn't vote for him will be SOL.

So basically their plan is to run as conservatives and then count on ‘downscale whites’ to put them over the top?
