Pennsylvania Congressional race: someone has to do it

the_real_Barleycorn's Avatar
Okay, we got a congressional race in southwest PA between a publicly anti-Pelosi democrat and a run of the mill republican. The democrat who says he cannot support Nancy is six points ahead and then Trump shows up. The six point deficit is erased overnight but so many people voted early and by absentee ballot. They have a few thousand ballots to count and Lamb (the democrat) is ahead by about 600 votes and change. Now if Lamb wins instead of talking about how quickly he fell, the media will say that this means Trump is weak. Nevermind that Trump erased the deficit in one visit. Now if the republican wins, the media will say that Trump is weak because the candidate didn't win by 20 pts like Trump did. So we wait for the counting to end and then the military absentee ballots have another week to arrive. As long as they are postmarked on election day, they're valid ballots.

So Trump can't win with this media. He loses if the candidate wins and he loses if the candidate loses. Of course, they do the whole thing over again in November.

20 point swing is not good no matter how you cut it

To claim a "20 point swing" is spurious.

Different race, different candidates, and a special election.

I didn't even mention the State Supreme Court has tossed out the district!

A high school senior Most Likely to Succeed election has more significance.

Just like in gambling.

You make a 1000 dollar bet it is a 2100 dollar swing in one direction or the other.

My terminology was correct and was in no attempt to deceive

Have you checked with your "bookie" yet?

Actually, all the "swing" shows is:
1. what a sorry ass candidate HillariousNoMore was!

2. that all the trash talk about Trump is bullshit ...

3. and the Democrats better field better candidates to "face Trump"!

How does HillariousNoMore match up in a head to head with:

1. single
2. 33
3. federal prosecutor
4. Marine
5. photogenic
6. able to morph his personality to more conservative

Seems the big blue wave is more like a ripple in a kiddie pool.

You have Clinton derangement syndrome.

Clinton is old news.

Nobody gives a fuck about the Clintons.

But Trump gives a fuck about the mid terms. Flip the House and my guess is Trump will not run in 2020. But that is too far out. Let's see how the midterm goes.

I B already told you it isn't a 20 point swing you imbecile

its a 10 point swing

trump won by 20, take 10 away (the swing) and give it to the dim and its even

I guess I should always look for something to praise you about and not expect thought processes in some normal range from you

Did you Trumpers say Trump won the district by 10 points or 20?

Gamblers call it a win vs a loss a swing of the total amount.
I am wondering.. How much of this vote putting the dem in the lead, was cause of voting 'irregularities'.
