PA - 18 makes another massive swing towards Democrats. 20+ point swing.
For context here is a swing half the size applied to the Electoral College. All states that voted for Republicans by less then 10 points are in light blue.
And Pa-18 isn't the only swing of this magnitude.
Federal level special elections >California 34th +18 D (Democrat Hold) >Kansas 4th +23 D (Republican Hold >Montana At-Large +16 D (Republican Hold) >Georgia 6th +6 D (Republican Hold) >South Carolina 5th +16 D (Republican Hold) >Utah 3rd +3 D (Republican Hold) >Alabama U.S. Senate +31 D (Democrat Gain) >Pennsylvania 18th +22 D (Democrat Gain)
Trump endorsement is death. Everyone he touches loses. Its simpley transferring his loss and their wins. Hence why he has gold everywhere, it accentuates his powers.
Eli Gray
I actually support blue wave at the moment when it comes to house seats. Not senate those must be fought and any in danger need to be protected bigly. I think that losing seats in the midterms will cork the bottle even worse for team blue because can't do anything anyway except be obstructionist, which is already now makony most of america pissed more of that will cause a hard red swing in 2020 and 2022. Rise and fall motherfuckers. It's how the game is played. Did everyone simultaneously forget how to chess?

>Get elected >Don't repeal Obamacare >Don't pass immigration reform >Don't fund a wall >Don't bring troops back from overseas >Do pass more gun control >Do cut taxes for the rich >Bomb Syria >Start a cold war with Russia
Nigger this is not what winning looks like. This looks like Neocons have this Republic by the balls and they're squeezing. If Trump wanted to win it had to be a blitz.
Elijah Ross
>can't do anything anyway except be obstructionist
that's all the GOP did for all of obama's admin. ironically now that dems are minority they are still proposing legislation and trying to compromise. the difference is dems actually know how to govern. period. same reason red states are destitute shitholes while urban blue centers drive the entire american economy.
nigger its been one year. the wall is already being built, ISIS is in ruins, Gorsuch is on the supreme court. Fucking entitled nigger children with no patience, your brain has been ruined by an easy stream of instant gratification.
BLIMPF BTFO HOW WILL WHITE CIS STRAIGHT MALE EVER RECOVER!1!1!1!1
Noah Bell
No one's building the wall dipshit. Trump was in CA yesterday and says now he want's the wall see-thru. Gorsuch got on because the Repub's cheat so Obama couldn't appoint who he wanted.
>Stupid nigger children who don't know what's going on.
Christian Brown
It's over for Sup Forums They can't meme! Facebook and Twitter are shutting them down.. How's Gab? LOL What a joke this place has become
Sitting on your ass while the dems are winning elections statewide. And they're gaining popularity!
It truly is over
Adrian Ross
>repubs cheat Except the Dems did exactly the same with a supreme court vacancy that Bush wanted to fill prior to Obama coming in. Can't have it both ways.
Ryan Davis
>the walls not being built >Trump says he wants the wall to be see through Republicans didn't cheat, they didn't follow conventions when it came to confirming Obama's appointment. Why the fuck would you care about Democrats getting fucked over you castrated loser.
Luke Hill
This is why you will continue to lose elections. You lazy complacent degenerate.
Tyler Price
>if i say it enough time it will become true Hahahaha delicious tears
James Nguyen
OK.. Go ahead and post something that criticizes the left and see how that works out for you on any of those websites.
It is over. The left is too energized. And the right thinks they are untouchable.
Ayden Taylor
oh yeah California is the best example right??
Carson Green
>democrats win a few elections >still won't be able to push an agenda or impeach Glompf >this is winning it's sad you need to feel some sense of victory because you don't have the patience to see how things develop. nobody knows at this point how the future is going to turn out, stop being a fucking spastic
>wall is already being built kek – looks like it'll be $23B+, still not funded and certainly not being paid for by Mexico
>Gorsuch Literally the one thing they've not managed to completely fuck up, and it was something McConnell handed to them after stealing the appointment from Obama.
Agree with Obama or not, his first year –even his first 100 days –has so many more accomplishments than Trump.
>so much winning
Christopher Hall
>le blu wave 44 percent always vote D 44 percent always vote R. the rest ALWAYS SWITCH guess this is your first election, kid? I was like you once, but you know the thousand and two hundred districts that went red in 2016... well you need to get at least half of those back don't cha?
Angel Gomez
>whataboutism
Which vacancy?
>If a Supreme Court justice had chosen to retire during the 110th Congress, it would have been easy for the Democrats to have blocked his proposed replacement in committee, or even by a party-line vote on the Senate floor, if it somehow came to that. As it developed, no Supreme Court justice retired or died during the 110th Congress.
Jace Price
23B is a drop in the bucket compared to what illegals cost. I don't fucking care if Mexico pays for it, I want less illegal aliens in the country. All you faggots are incredibly transparent, get off of this board you nigger dick sucking castratos.
Nobody cares about a Democrat here and there winning a seat for the worthless and meaningless House of Representatives. There are 435 seats and even if dems won all the vacant ones, the republicans would still have 41 seats more than them.
no dude you have to understand they totally won and this is finally the time where the take back everything from orange voldermort and his army of nazis
>pathetic >projecting Whataboutism is not even a debate tactic it's a fucking logical fallacy. I'm trying to point out that you're a faggot.
Alexander Nelson
jesus christ you are a fucking moron. for one I'm not the person you replied to with your whataboutism faggotry. two, I said 'cries of whataboutism', which is an accusation reddit fags love to throw around when their spaghetti blows up in their face. I'm not sure why I'm trying to explain the differences in accusing someone of fallacious logic to the actual fallacy to someone who can't tell the difference between a fucking Union Jack and the flag of his own country. What a fucking moron.
Fuck you and retarded assholes like you who want to flood the country full of illegals and collapse it like nu-Rome.
Michael Price
It's so nice that rural and suburban retards can vote for a pro-gun anti-abortion "democrat" over a Bush-era neocon.
>blue wave keep fucking dreaming
Lincoln Wilson
Pa is waiting on absent ballots. There's litteraly 500 votes between lamb and saccone.. there were also reports of Republicans told they could not vote yesterday..
Lincoln King
Every election has gone Dem. Trump has only backed winners as good as himself.
David Flores
Jokes on commies - By forcing me to adopt hardline conservative business and investment practices, I will be a 1%er by age 32.
Only the proletariat will deep the shitstorm that liberals are bringing.
Sure. How'd that Jones Alabama victory work out for you? Oh wait he voted with Trump right after a bunch of "powerful" black women put him in office.
Obviously if Democrats are going to run right-wing populists they can win elections over neocons. This is exactly why Trump won. It isn't a vote for a Pelosi platform and it isn't a win for the DNC.
Gabriel Johnson
trump single handedly destroyed the GOP in less than one year lol.
Jaxon Hernandez
Lol. Lamb ran as pro-choice, pro-lgbt, pro-DACA, pro-Obamacare, anti tax cuts, pro-unions. Since when this is in the GOP plataform?
Ryder Cooper

Brayden Campbell
The republicans control the house, senate, and president. If the dems are still able to enact voter fraud, then it is clear the republicants don’t give a fuck or are too limped dicked to do anything and shouldn’t be supported anyways.
My theory is Trump’s staggeringly bad management style of firing everyone he has hired undermines people’s confidence in him and his party. Would you want to work for a company where there was a revolving door of high ranking management? No, of course not. This is on Trump.
Isaac Johnson
>muh pelosi Sad Let me guess new target now that Hillary died?
Nicholas Cooper
He was great at campaigning, but he fucking sucks as president. Maybe he shouldn’t be firing his top staff because they hurt his poor little feelings, oh poor trump boo hooo hoo
Michael Anderson
>muh GOP GOP is anti-Trump. Who do you think voted for Trump? A lot of Obama voters fled to Trump. They're happy to go back to Democrats if Democrats run good candidates. And the GOP ran another fucking neocon and lost.
As an ex-Dem it's nice to see someone like this win. It's a victory for the people of PA, but not for the DNC. This is why they have to shill so hard on the media today about the "blue wave" even though this kind of candidate isn't anywhere close to lock-step with the DNC platform.
I'm just calling it like it is. That's the platform Lamb ran on, he specifically called out disagreement with Pelosi-style DNC issues.
Owen Lee
Why does this list of shit keep getting longer every time its posted? He said very little on abortion and DACA (quite the opposite, unions hate illegals). The little he said about abortion as an issue was pro life statements. Going through his official platforms he ran on unions, infrastructure and dealing with the opiod crisis with medicare and ACA reform in his secondary positions. If anything a resurgence of Blue Dogs is a win far greater than a red house. Its telling that a winning strategy is to distance yourself from the rest of your party.
Jack Baker
The democrats didnt like the way actual americans were voting so they illegally snuck in a bunch of broke ass foreigners and promised them free shit. No single win the "fuck straight white people party" has is legitimate.
Colton Ramirez
For his point, yes? California is a huge chunk of our GDP, meanwhile most of our deep red states are economic shitholes that rely on being in the grace of one large employer who leverage their influence against the (R)s in that state to cuck the citizens and the people living there usually have the worst wages and benefits
There’s a lot of other problems with deep blue states, but working economies is usually not up on that list.
Logan White
No you won’t
Caleb Ramirez
Yes goy, remember come November, russiagate was fake before but now is very very real. No democrat ever wins, there is no liberal majority.
California was collapsing until around 2012 or so when the tech sector took off. everyone else is servants. when that bubble pops, the pension system in California is absolutely fucked.
Liam Lee
its actually not
You might be thinking of the fallacy fallacy, or the et tu fallacy, but whataboutism is nothing more than a bullshit drivel buzzword
Jaxon Perry
Georgia is going blue this year. Fuck tard baby boomers need to be to rest once and for all.
Samuel Robinson
The Dems pump tons of resources into single elections and claim it is representative of the country, but what happens when you have to spread that across dozens of districts? I doubt the near-bankrupt party has the money to bus enough people to the polls to effect a so-called blue wave.
The Republicans are going to get rid of Trump on their own soon. A couple more tariffs and election losses is all it's going to take.
Jonathan Richardson
Screen capped Your tears will be amazing
Brayden Gray
Gloat all you want but when conservatives and decent folk have no more legal recourse they will resort to violence and exterminate the left. there is no way that this will not end without bloodshed. The country has been stolen and turned socialist by immigration and liberalism. We will kill and regain what was the most blessed nation on earth that has been destroyed in the name of humanity.
Julian Roberts
lmao i can't believe reps lost a R+20 seat that trump campaigned for, and the worst part is they dropped 8 figures into the race and this seat won't even exist in november
Benjamin Hall
Fuck yes you lingual master
Angel Rodriguez
I would like to say I just wanted to see the response this would get. I am more than happy with it.
Nice job republican retards. All of you deserve to be burned alive for being colossal fuck ups.
Levi Jackson
Quit pushing the bankrupt meme. They actually have funds now via other organizations.
Hudson Young
Why does reddit keep forcing this blue wave meme?
Jackson Lewis
They played the "he's a pedophile" card to do it, winning by only the barest of margins, and funny how all of that shit evaporated once the election was done. Guess what? People notice that shit. Fool me once and all of that. If they keep that crap up, then pretty soon the "pedo" card will be in the bin right next to the "racist" card as an accusation that used to mean something, but doesn't anymore.
Zachary Ross
Because whether it is in victory or defeat Leftists love learning all the wrong lessons. Now that it looks like he has won, Conor Lamb will be retroactively made into a far-left Coastal Progressive regardless of how he actually campaigned. And so the Left will take this as "proof" that going really far to the left wins elections.
Every moderate Dem elected is a victory for the far left. This statement is always true. Understanding how it is true in any given context is what separates the wise from the clueless.
Julian Hughes
>Democrats run candidate who is former military and totally counter-signals their party and only barely shit out a win
Wow, so a pro-2nd amendment, pro-tariff former marine won, that really represents the liberal progressive democrats doesn't it?
Jason Wilson
>Trump hasn't built the wall yet. >Maybe I should vote for the democrats, who openly advocate for illegal immigration!
If this is how the average voter thinks then our civilization deserves to collapse.
winning.......they're winning........ >if I pretend to be a rural redneck and say lmao blue wave wut? then maybe they stop going on the offensive dude this election showed gop cant win one to save their fucking lives.
Owen Watson
dems wont go hard left for november and they will lose.

Nathan Moore
The democrat party is in debt and they keep going further into the red. There is no way in hell they can afford to pump money into elections across the entire country so they are just desperately trying to get some momentum going with these individual races. They are gambling everything on small potatoes, and if it doesn't work they are going to be even worse off when the next session starts.
The idea that the democrats are so outraged over losing the last election that they will show up in bigger numbers this time is a fool's fantasy. They already did their best in 2016 and it's not like hating trump even more will somehow make their votes count for more than they did back then.
Many people voted for Trump not because he ran as a republican but because he was seen as an outsider who could potentially shake things up.
People were sick of forever only getting to choose between a corrupt democrat with insane leftist policies and an Israeli bootlicking neocon republican.
So it is not surprising that voters are not necessarily as enthusiastic about voting for the republican party itself as they were about Trump.
Owen Bell
>People were sick of forever only getting to choose between a corrupt democrat with insane leftist policies and an Israeli bootlicking neocon republican. fucking this. I hate people saying DISTRICT TRUMP CARRIED BY XX POINTS. These niggas arent trump. They either win on their own merits or they fucking lose.
