Make no mistake, the GOP is the actual loser of Tuesday night’s election even if Rick Saccone ultimately is declared the winner.

For Democrat Conor Lamb to be in a virtual tie (actually with a slight lead) after nearly all the votes have been counted is a major accomplishment for him. Remember is is a deep-red congressional district as shown by the following facts:
So there is truly no excuse for Republicans to have lost this race, although we will be hearing plenty of excuses from the headquarters of the Republican National Committee in the days and weeks to come.
But here is the ONE fact that above all proves that this special election was an unmitigated disaster for the Republican Party: There are 114 Republican-held congressional seats that are LESS red than Pennsylvania’s 18th district. Since the Democrats need to gain only 24 seats in the November elections, this fact spells doom for the GOP.
What we’re seeing is that even in a VERY Republican congressional district a Democrat can win in 2018. The results in PA-18th are sending shockwaves through the Washington political establishment in much the same way as the results from the Alabama special Senate election that saw Democrat Doug Jones pull off a stunning upset.
And Rep. Ted Lieu has confirmed that Democrats are going to try to defeat Devin Nunes, and they have a good chance of doing so.
Here are the excuses that Republicans will use to try to explain away the special election results:
Of course none of these excuses hold water.
So let’s be honest Republicans — there are no excuses for the election results last night. The voters have spoken, and it is a clear rejection of Donald Trump and all of the bad policies of the Republican Party.
