Probably should let them know Trump ain't gonna get rid of his own tax cuts, and most of the middle class tax cuts will just expire or get rolled back naturally without anyone having to cut them.

And also Republicans still have like a 30 something seat majority in the house.

And this dude is going to be out of office in like six months anyway.

Also it wasn't a massacre, Saccone was a bad candidate and if Trump didn't go it would've been even worse.

Other way around I think

Tortureman would've won without the Trump endorsement. People are really tired of El Trumpo.

I disagree with this though. Trump is still above water in that district. That's literally his base-iest of base areas. I definitely think he helped and at least kept it close.

Corrik is right about it being "ultimately meaningless" though and Trump wasn't smart to tie his name to another losing candidate, particularly when that district is getting completely reworked in six months time. But I do think his name absolutely helped there.

Looks like the spin from the GOP this morning is that Lamb is actually conservative, so they didn't really lose.

ok!

A conservative who had the backing of the unions, LGBTQ groups, is legislatively pro-choice, favors universal background checks, affirmatively defends Obamacare, and ran explicitly against the GOP tax cut

spin spin spin

^
He was basically just "personally against abortion but doesn't want laws restricting it" (which is totally reasonable and literally the same position as SUPER LIBERAL BOOGEYMAN Tim Kaine) and against stronger gun legislation (although he was ok with expanded background checks, which again, cool beans man).

Yeah he's a conservative democrat and he's perfect for a Trump +20 district (and a Romney/McCain +15 district). But he's still a democrat.

Not sure if we are still waiting on absentees or not but with the 2 precincts reporting, lamb is up 550 votes.

Washington county and Greene county. Would be pretty unlikely for them to make up that manu votes, they have around 2k combined.

Lamb looks like the winner, but there will be a recount.

Is it Greene's absentees we're waiting on? I thought it was Washington and Westmoreland.

Those two would give Saccome an expected boost of 353 votes.

EDIT: If it is Greene it'd be like 40 less than that. This is assuming the same voting percentage as the general population of the county which isn't a guarantee obviously.

Allegheny absentee ballots weren't as one sided as people thought I guess to only get the lead up to 800.

Well he was up by 95 and then went up to 847. So he gained 752 votes on the absentees from Allegheny and Greene. Greene had 203 absentee votes, and if we assume a similar distribution from their standard voting, Saccome got 117 of those and Lamb got 84. So Saccome got an additional 33 votes, for this group, meaning Allegheny gave Lamb a 785 vote swing.

There were 3,750 votes from Allegheny, meaning the rough votes from them were roughly 2,267 for Lamb and 1,482 for Saccone.

Or roughly 60.45% for Lamb and 39.5% for Saccone, which is slightly better than the normal votes from Allegheny (57.2 to 42.2).

So yeah, definitely good, but not overwhelmingly so.

Trumps endorsement is the counter to the Blue wave. Hes the most well-liked Republican

Trump's endorsement was a waste of time. He knew lamb was a better candidate and that this election didn't matter. Even with a loss, Dems were gonna act like it was a big deal. Didn't change anything to go out and put your name behind someone like saccone.

It cant be worse than his endorsement of Moore. And here it might actually help.

Well, to be honest the entire election doesn't matter. It is for a few months. And it does nothing to the numbers in the house. And may not even be the same district in those few months.

I am really surprised for the supposed blue wave that a candidate as bad as saccone could maybe even pull this off.

Well yes, this is also true. Its crazy inconsequential in the long run.

But its a Trump +20 district right in core Trump country. Even with a good dem candidate (which we have) and a bad rep one (which we have) its a tough district for dems.

It's already been scientifically debunked. I don't know why Trump thinks otherwise.

Video games are an appropriate venue in which to take out outbursts of rage. By disallowing such games, it will instead cause unstable people to find a new sandbox in which to take out their rage: The real world. It would actually INCREASE violent crime.

I mean he also thinks vaccines cause autism and global warming is made up by the Chinese to do ??? so I don't think "scientifically debunked" means much to him.

Thad Cochran, Senator from Mississippi, is resigning effective April 1st.

Mississippi Republican Sen. Thad Cochran, who chairs the powerful Appropriations Committee, will leave his seat effective April 1, citing his health issues that have kept him away from the Senate in recent months.

"I regret my health has become an ongoing challenge," Cochran said in a statement. "I intend to fulfill my responsibilities and commitments to the people of Mississippi and the Senate through the completion of the 2018 appropriations cycle, after which I will formally retire from the U.S. Senate."

The 80-year-old's health declined in the last few years and he is currently serving his seventh term in the Senate. He was absent from his duties in the Senate for a few weeks last fall with a urinary tract infection.

Longtime Senate aides, who observed Cochran regularly, noted privately that the senator seemed to have slowed down mentally in recent years but they acknowledge it's difficult to tell to what degree.

Doesn't sound too good for him, sadly.

BUSINESS INSIDER - Tillerson and Mattis are reportedly trying to hold Trump back from striking North Korea

Both The Telegraph and The Wall Street Journal have portrayed Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Secretary of Defense James Mattis as trying to caution President Donald Trump against a strike, and the national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, as advocating it.

The reports come after months of mixed messages and dozens of shifts in the US's stance on North Korea.

The bloody-nose strategy, which calls for a sharp, violent response to some North Korean provocation, puts a lot of weight on the US's properly calibrating an attack on North Korea and Pyongyang's reading the limited strike as anything other than the opening salvo of an all-out war.

http://www.businessinsider.com/tillerson-mattis-trump-north-korea-strike-2018-1


For those worried about America picking fights with North Korea, prepping McMaster to be replaced could be a good thing.

I was honestly wondering why the reports were saying that Mattis and Kelly were the ones pushing for his removal. This makes a lot of sense with this context, thanks.

I'm not even sure he has all the Democrat votes on gun legislation, honestly.

How strong is the NRA in terms of lobbying? Is a 20/40 Republican/Democrat split that unlikely?

FWIW Manchin was just on Fox News talking up the bill and singing Trump's praises for helping them get something done. He essentially wants it the same bill as the 2013 Manchin/Toomey bill but is much more optimistic about it passing this time if it has Trump's support.

He is definitely one of the most conservative Democrats on gun control, although there are a couple of others that aren't for sure guarantees either. So maybe he will have almost all of the Democratic votes on this depending on what the final bill looks like.

I'm still not super optimistic based on recent (and not so recent) history though.

We're already hearing this one regarding the school resource officer. Don't think we won't be hearing the same story when a teacher with a gun fails to stop it. Followed of course by everyone calling for the firing of all the armed teachers who didn't stop it.

"Teacher goes nuts, kills students, then self."

Guess it's time to ban something finally! Schools, that is.

"Student grabs gun from teacher, kills 3."

Don't forget the inevitable "He reached for his waistband" after a teacher kills an unarmed student and then claims he was afraid for his life.

Cops, who are trained for years and are prepared to actual handle dangerous situations, make these mistakes all the time.

Teachers would absolutely do every single one of these things and more. The level of disrespect this idea shows actual police officers is absurd.

I fully expect many of you to argue against these facts in subsequent posts, but this is how a large number of people feel they are being labeled. Your side will never win those people over when the conclusions against them are this extreme.

It wasn't just the democrats who lost this past cycle.

If the republicans really weren't REDACTED SO FEELING WON'T BE HURT, they had Kasich, they had Jeb!, they had Rubio, etc etc etc. They had options with much of the same policy but without the rhetoric. In fact, they had true conservative options, something Trump was not and never will be.

Instead they went for the rhetoric. They went with "blood coming out of her whatever". They went with "they're sending their rapists and some, I assume, are good people". They went with "grab her by the pussy". They wanted this over true conservatism, so it should let you know that there is a good chunk of Trump's base that isn't there just because "oh I support conservative ideas".
