Yup. 'Trump dragged him down' is the easiest cop out for an incompetent.

Did you hear Saccone's comments today on those who oppose trump, that they hate God and America?
Trump and God are not the two words I'd expect in the same sentence ...
 
If Saccone loses, I blame Trump Jr in a flipping' hairnet........can you imagine pops in that candy factory?

And eating ice cream like a pig........there were more than 'two scoops' in that bowl!

If Lamb wins - of course Trump will blame Saccone. Trump never ever ever takes any part of the blame on himself. He is the supreme mentally disturbed narcissist who believes he is a god among men and is incapable of mistake like other mere mortals are.

In the mentally disturbed mind of our president - I have little doubt that God and Trump are one and the same.
 
Lets not start crowing just yet, it ain't over until it's over.

It may look good, but we've seen several elections where prediction were off, and upsets have been for both Republicans and Democrats.
 
Saccone is a neocon, has barely anything about immigration on his campaign website, and really doesn't appeal to a working population like Trump did. This is why the polling has been so terrible. Neocons need to be purged from the party.

Saccone will probably win. He is a Republican in deep red country. The right dumped a ton of money into winning. It will be close but Saccone will come out ahead.

He might not. He is very anti-union, won't meet with the union erps at all, and is very 'right to work' law. ALthough the district is strongly republican it is also very union... miner's union and steel workers. Lamb is pro-union, pro-gun, and pro-life.

The sad fact is people vote by letters not by actual stances. People will vote "R".

There have been a number of polls that show that might not be the case in this instance.

That's not true at all, especially with local elections. A Republican who's weak on issues that local Republicans care about will get little voter turnout. Ask Roy Moore how important turnout is.

Polls aren't always accurate.

Don't get me wrong. I hope Saccone suffers the loss here. I hate the idea of another Republican in office who will back every Trump move blindly. But I don't have any faith in the voters of that district.

At 10:00 with 96% in, the Dem was 1,200 votes over the Repub but approx. 4,000 absentee ballots won't be tabulated until about midnight. Big shift from Trump's score in 2016!
 
It's down to something like the Dem being ahead by 641 votes - way diff than Trump's 20%. This will likely trigger an automatic recount. But this should scare the S*** out of the Repubs about November.
