How that can be in this reddish district is beyond me.

Being from the area and in the party, I can say that I think the conference might have made a mistake selecting Saccone. The district spans parts of four counties. Southern Allegheny county (Pittsburgh area) is fairly dem and liberal and is a major part of the district. One of the candidates was a young Republican state senator who has managed to win repeatedly in that area, but the conference decided against him and chose Saccone. I like Saccone, but never felt he could carry or overcome that area. I hope I'm wrong.

“I like Saccone, but never felt he could carry or overcome that area.”

His platform resembles Trump’s, and Trump will be rallying for him, so maybe he can pull it off and beat the slick pretty boy.
