Re: US Politics Thread
The later is exactly why this matters. Trump won this heavily gerrymandered district by 20. Now, just over a year later, it appears the Dem takes a solid red district for 500 votes.
This matters. Even with gerrymandering, they still couldn't win this district.
This is a big deal.

Union guys voted for Trump, the Republican is a right to work candidate. Also, Lamb isn't liberal. That matters.
Still should have been a shoe in for the Republican.
Not really, he was a bad candidate and there are more registered democrats. Not to mention it's a union vote. The guy literally ran like a Republican and made Perez stay out of the race. It's like Alabama, the democrat is a Conservative. Dems are winning but liberals aren't.

I've never hard Trump say that he was pro-union....the tariffs make him that way indirectly I suppose...but Trump, personally, hasn't treated labor very well.

Well first, he's a lawyer...and lawyer's are notoriously liberal.
His stances on healthcare and Medicare/Social Security don't seem conservative either.
He also wants to do something about student loan debt.
These are not conservative ideas.

Then you're not looking hard enough. He's not liberal.
