Turns out if you hand out $1.5 T to the billionaire class, they’ll give some back to you in the form of campaign donations.

Also remember that this is a district that did not field a Democrat in the last two cycles. Between 2008 and 2012, the average margin was 30 points If Republican donors are pouring millions in just to keep a ruby-red district competitive, that's already a win, and a great sign

No one is taking it for granted. But the energy and enthusiasm at the grass roots is off scale

Irony is that they are playing for a newscycle. The seat will effectively disappear for the spring primary and fall election. Even if Lamb loses, he may be in the next Congress in a more Dem seat.

Democrats decided to not put money in this race because the new Pennsylvania map will change the next race. Saving up for 2018

Democrats +16.

Democrats from throughout the US should try to give whatever small amount they can to support Conor Lamb’s candidacy. Together, through the sheer volume of the resistance, we can counter GOP dark money. I gave.

Unless the Republicans are spending that money on voter turn out, it doesn’t matter.

Can you identify a significant political player who "thinks the House is a sure thing for Democrats?" This creature is like a unicorn, much discussed, but never encountered in real life.

Not every single person in America is swayed by misleading 30 second ads and Dems have their own big donors as well

I live in Pittsburgh and Rick Saccone’s ad is everywhere, every single commercial break.

Grassroots beats money..keep fighting

They’re misreading those voters. SW PA is strong Union history; huge mistrust of Big $. Just look at Braddock’s upstart mayor Fetterman. R candidate weak; Lamb a marine & Mensch who listens. #ConorLambForCongress #PA18.
