      what should worry R's about PA-18 isn't that Connor Lamb was a unicorn (moderate, military, focused on CD & not Trump), but that there are lots of other D candidates w/ this profile running

      I’m a center-right guy, but when I look at Doug Jones, I feel like he’s more “like me” than Roy Moore. I feel the same about Lamb vs Saccone. This is purely anecdotal—and I’m not saying I’m “normal.” But I suspect there’s something here. Dems are running better candidates.

          It's a damn shame that more Republicans don't recognise good candidates like Jones and Lamb ... Neither Moore nor Saccone should have ended up with >40% of total votes, not given the alternative choices.

          And Democrats should recognise that good Dem candidates don't have to be idealogues. As @Bakari_Sellers said so well: "Democrats are not one thing. We are Conor Lamb. We are Joe Manchin. ... We are everybody and everybody in between."

          Better candidates choosing Dems. They're actually fiscally conservative, don't want govt involved in personal decisions(family planning,who we marry)&are in favor of open& transparent govt. Also aren't into treason, looting the UStreasury or #moneylaundering for human traffickers

          There's something to be said for running just fundamentally decent human beings for office. Even if you disagree with them on issues, it's not a threatening disagreement. You perceive of them as empathetic and open to listening to your point of view and considering your side.

          They are running sane, non extreme and non corrupt candidates.

          I'm center left. Problem is, neither side wants to admit 'the center' exist.

          I’m a center left guy - Lamb is closer to me than Saccone OR a Bernie Sanders type. I wish GOP ran more people like Kasich, Flake, or you.

          Kasich and Flake are pretty conservative though. Just with better decorum.

          Kasich is pretty right-center. Flake is more of an early Reagan Conservative. I don’t agree with some of their views but I at least see they have convictions and a desire for compromise.

          Matt- Roy Moore was a pedophile. That’s quite a low bar.

          The GOP has painted themselves into a dark corner where only hate for the other and extreme religious ideology sparks voters. Dems will fill the void.
