Any republican defeated is a good thing.

Lamb's another Blue Dog Democrat.  His win would mainly be symbolic because of the district and the fact that the WLB won it handily.

Trump won the destruct by over 20 points, though! The Republican establishment has been pouring millions into this one, and they are on the ground like a swarm of roaches.

Agreed.  But Lamb is no progressive. 

If he's one more democrat knocking that fuck Ryan out of the speakership, that's good.  But Lamb is nothing to write home about.

[Jehanne]

He'll remain loyal, though, except for a throw-away vote here and there. Point is that if Lamb wins, such will be a clear repudiation of Trump. When the World slides into the next major recessionion (or worse) due to Trump's trade war, such will open a door to progressive reform bigger than what you can drive a bread truck through!l

Good analogy.

It's a nail biter, and I am about to have a heart attack!!! Plus, we can't afford health insurance and are on Title 19!

Um, Lamb supports the WLB's trade war.  By all means let him win.  But don't put him on the Commerce Committee.

It's a recount now, either way. Lamb is still on top, for the moment.
