No suburban district is safe’: GOP strategist hits the panic button

Democrat Conor Lamb’s apparent victory in Pennsylvania’s special congressional election on Tuesday is sending waves of panic through the Republican Party, as it came in a seemingly safe district that had voted for President Donald Trump by 20 points in 2016.

A Republican strategist who talked with Business Insider says that the GOP should not try to put any rosy spin on the results of the election, as he said they would have been disastrous for the party even if Republican candidate Rick Saccone had pulled out a razor-thin victory.

“The narrow margin in a district the president won handily should be a serious wake-up call for Republican incumbents across the map,” the strategist said. “No suburban district is safe and every candidate better be ready for the most difficult cycle of their career.”

Another GOP strategist similarly told Business Insider that the loss should “serve as a wake-up call to everybody” in the GOP.

Hello floridafan,

That's great news.

Let the political pendulum swing back to the left. Humanity needs that.

Idle-minded idiots voted for a fat, incompetent buffoon, and have now realised what they've done. Pendulums, bollux: sense!
