Of course the polls were right on as usual... They predicted a 6 point trouncing of Trump and the Republicans. Only it it wasn’t quite a 6 point drubbing it was a .6 photo finish. SOooo... what made the difference:
1. It was a Young, Charismatic Leader vs. a Old, Dull, Establishment guy.
2. As was expected, the YCL received 12X the news coverage than the ODE.
3. Many Trumpsters stayed at home.
4. Many Libertarians would have voted Republican had there not been a Libertarian on the ballot.
5. Finally, the winning votes were supplemented by hundreds of illegals and dead Dems.
Then, if you look at the 18th district, it is Gerrymandered and the numbers are hard to grasp, BUT if you look at the district county by county, they are Greene, Washington, Allegheny, and Westmoreland Counties. In the 2016 Presidential election in those 4 counties Hillary won by over 20,000 votes. (trump won the State by 48.2% to Hillary’s 47.5%).

Point being, the election is of little importance. There are 435 U.S. Congressmen and on this same day in another district the Republicans won in a landslide.
Where is Dogtag on this???
