President Donald Trump downplayed the significance of the Democratic victory in the special election in Pennsylvanias 18th Congressional District on Wednesday, claiming that Conor Lamb won because he tried to be like Trump.
Lamb, a political newcomer, was projected to defeat state Rep. Rick Saccone in Tuesdays election, although the margin was thin. ....
The young man last night that ran, he said, Oh, Im like Trump. Second Amendment, everything. I love the tax cuts, everything. He ran on that basis, Trump said at a fundraiser in Missouri on Wednesday, according to The Atlantic. He ran on a campaign that said very nice things about me. I said, Is he a Republican? He sounds like a Republican to me.
Lamb, in fact, ran against the GOP-passed tax cut law. And even conservative groups realized that the signature achievement of the Republican Congress wasnt resonating with voters; they shifted away from that issue as the campaign went on. Saccone, however, tried to sell himself as a politician in the mold of Trump.
Just last weekend, Trump campaigned outside of Pittsburgh for GOP candidate Rick Saccone, a state senator whose message was built on support of Trump and his policies.
Trump literally went out speaking for the guy who lost, and is still trying to suggest that it was his influence that won they day for the DEMOCRAT... Well in a way I guess he is right, people hate Trump so much he is helping Dems win.
Donald Trump is very smart. After all, Sun Tzu, author of The Art of War once said "Victorious warriors see who wins first, then pick a side."
Right?
Right?
The actual quote for anyone wondering is "Victorious warriors win first, then go to war." ---
