    A useful lesson from Lamb for other Dem candidates? He contrasted with Trump by example, not rhetoric. D voters don’t need to be reminded of who they’re voting against. Taking high road w/out talking about taking high road ensured Lamb wouldn’t inflame Trump backers.https://twitter.com/jonallendc/status/973915513880563712 …

        Is the "conservative Democrat" moniker just a thing you have to use when writing about politics? Honest question. He is for universal health care, gun checks, against Trump tax cut. On and on. Maybe that's where the country is? Honest question.

        Did I say conservative Democrat? Being for background checks makes him in the very wide mainstream of this country. It’s a little bit about policy, but also about temperament and emphasis. Candidates on the extremes of either party tend to talk about their unpopular beliefs a lot

        The West Village vs West PA quote or some such went in that direction ... Fact is, West PA and West Village have very similar political views, no?

        Trump came and reminded the voters that he was a classless, immoral man. Had to help Lamb

        Not sure I agree with all of this. Picking candidates that are genuine and powerful advocates for ideas that are popular in their district is important, but I think it's wrong to assume what "fitting the district" means. Look at Tammy Baldwin.

        @Lis_Smith @NBCNews actually, I literally think Connor Lamb WAS HIMSELF. He didn’t try to bake a cake with a formula. He won.

        Folks, their winning races of all types. Lamb was just one type who won. Liberal Dems & moderate Dems have been winning races everywhere. Don't be a #TrumpTheMoron
