And Paul Ryan claims Lamb is really Republican?




Conor Lamb campaigned:
1. For universal health care
2. Against Trump’s tax cut
3. For expanded background checks
4. For stronger unions
5. Against cuts to Social Security
6. For a woman’s right to choose
7. For medical marijuana

“Conservative Democrat.” Ok. Cool.

And hunting around, their big primary is August 14, 2018 so he has a little bit of time to decide (based on some of their other elections, it looks like they have to file about 3 months before the election, so possibly by sometime in May we will know).

Then Ryan will see if Lamb is a Republican or not.

(The Republicans just spent over $10 million trying to DEFEAT Lamb. Is Ryan SURE Lamb is a Republican?)

Nancy Pelosi-loving liberal. Today he's a good conservative.

Ryan's dodge, though, implies (1) Pennsylvania voters are stupid; and (2) Republicans threw a shit-ton of money at this race, trying to beat a Republican. I'm sure Trump's already in "Rick Who?" mode, so it would be nice if a reporter could ask Speaker Ryan about these implications in the face of his assertion that a Republican won last night in Pennsylvania.
