So, it sure looks like Connor Lamb will be Congressman Lamb. OUTSTANDING!

And predictably enough he will now attacked as a Dino, a Blue Dog right winger - here on DU

Let me summarize the argument:
"So we're electing Yankee Blue Dogs now? ALEC and Goldman Sachs get to choose OUR candidates as well? isn't he is in bed with the NRA?" Etcetera...

Hey there Bro-flakes, gun confiscation (really any gun control proposal stronger than a better background check)is the kiss of death where I grew up. And BTW I grew up in PA 18...

Any medicaire for all proposal will be painted as a welfare give away to lazy brown people and IT WILL SELL. The Appalachias are as racist or MORE RACIST than anywhere I've ever been in the world. Tell us that it's a give away to blacks or Mexicans and 60-70% will believe it and vote against it even if it would help their own children.

So yes Connor Lamb distanced himself from Sen. Pelosi. No he doesn't support an Assault Rifle ban and finally, for the love of sanity - A Democrat is still better than a Republican even if they won't give you an ice cream and promise you a pony.

Real life is real. Politics has to deal with reality.

When you're hungry, 80% of a great meal is better than 100 percent of some shit on a shovel - and THAT'S the choice we have to make between "Bluedogs" and Republicans

time but we have a bigger problem in the short term.

The election was stolen, just watch. It is not over yet, CLEARLY they flipped votes or miscounted votes to go from Lamb having a 6 point lead or 10,000 vote lead to a tie.

I am not sure what 6 points represents in votes, but thousands.

The GOP and FSB/KGB have agents on the ground in the precincts flipping votes or hacking IT or both. Gonna happen in November.

WAKE UP PEOPLE if we have a tie in a race where we are SIX points ahead, what do you think November will look like!
