In reply to the discussion: Conor Lamb won his race [View all]DeminPennswoods
(17,603 posts)Conor Lamb seems like a nice enough guy, but he has no idea about his district. The voters in the counties he so assiduously courts as a "moderate", "centrist", "independent" soundly rejected him. He lost Beaver county, the largest land area of PA-17 by 16 pts (58-42) and his district segment of SW Butler county (57-43). You know where he won and who put him over the top? Heavily Democratic Allegheny county.
Yet Lamb will continue to bite the hand that feeds him. If a justice Dem or DSA candidate primaries him in 2022, that will be fine with me. He's done basically nothing to help the beat down mill towns here where I am. I've never seen him in my home town to either campaign or distribute federal funds.
One last thing, while my county is pretty reliably red, it was carried by Gov Wolf, an unabashed liberal and progressive in his 2018 re-election campaign.
