Yeah, there's one sure way to get him to vote in lock step with his party.

3)If Lamb had a primary challenger he would have lost to a radical whom I believe would have lost this election.
4) The district is going away and likely Lamb can not win in either of the new districts. One is strong (R) the other radical (D)

Bottom line, is Trump's approval rating is higher than when he was elected, that alone would keep the status quo. However, and that's a big however, radical Dems are far, FAR more energized than Republicans and THEY WILL get out and vote in droves...all of them. Will Republicans? Nope....That's the difference.

People on the right are generally the producers and become completely complacent unless their backs are against the wall. They just want to be left alone and are not really politically motivated like the left is. People on the left have no intention of being producers they just want to be controllers.

He needs to run for re-election in less than a year.

He needs to be held accountable too.

Buy ammo and weapons now.

We've been hearing that claim for what, 30 years since MTV started "rocking the vote"?

It never happens. They get bribed to go to a couple of rallies, do what they can to get a day off school here and there, and let election day without even remembering what day it was. Young voters aren't a reliable base, they have no attention span. Even under Obama, the rock star celebrity candidate who hangs out with rappers and shoots basketballs at the White House...their turnout was underwhelming and below projections. They don't scare me.

And you're also forgetting, a lot of teens are Conservatives too...we just don't see them on the news. Look at CPAC's attendance.

This BS just in from The Hill:

Republicans dumped more than $10 million into an attempt to hold the reliably Republican district.

That's just straight-up wrong. PA 18 has flipped between D and R five times since 1971. Democrat incumbents have been re-elected 'reliably' just as often as Republicans. It's absolutely a 'swing' district, not at all "reliably Republican"

Spin spin goes the media wheel.
