Doesn't mention what Party he's running for.

Will work with Republicans.

"Loves to shoot".

Fine by me in a challenging Republican district like this.

Hell, I am a Social Democrat but I would work with anyone if it advanced my cause.

And I love to shoot as well.

The only area I differ is that I am not personally against Abortion. But he is as safe a pro choice vote as Kaine and many, many other members of the Democratic Party who feel Abortion is not something they personally can do.

This is a big reach that we probably can’t achieve. But would actually be a larger pickup than the Alabama senate seat. So even though I am not optimistic I am sending a contribution. I was not expecting Virginia either.

He needs to appeal to moderate republicans, like it or not. This is where they "cling to their guns." We suffered with Murphy for 14 years. This was once Rick Santorum's district!

I'll forgive him those couple of panders if it gives us a democrat in that seat. He's a great candidate.

trump campaigned here for Sassone (Lamb's opponent) yesterday and barely noticed him. LOL

Democrats have been having a good run, and Conor Lamb is a good candidate, just like Doug Jones was in Alabama. A little help, and Lamb can be a winning candidate, just like Jones.
