Ex-GOP lawmaker: My takeaway from Pa. special election is 'Madam Speaker'

[DonViejo]

Former GOP Rep. David Jolly (Florida) said on Tuesday that his take away from the special election in Pennsylvania's 18th congressional district was "Madam Speaker," referencing a potential Democratic takeover of the House in the 2018 midterm elections

Jolly's tweet appeared to foreshadow the possibility of Democrats taking control of the House of Representatives in the wake of Democratic candidate Conor Lamb's declared victory in the district.

Rep. Rick Saccone (R) has not officially conceded.

The district, which went for President Trump in 2016 by a 20-point margin, was once considered a safe Republican seat.

5. the republicans main election issue to run on will be hey, trump is awful but Pelosi is worse...

Hell I hope thats the way they want to run all their candidates....we can run on the issues on how these same republicans allowed trump to be worse.....

in 6 months, I doubt our economy is going to be untouched by coming tariff wars, and god knows how much more trump is going to fuck up.....

we make the election about who/what can be the antidote to trump and the republicans who made him the problem....

6. Jolly? Meh....

Just when I start to respect his opinions he comes up up with a republicanism every so often that reminds me what reps are all about.

I think with republicans, it's like they have a gene that that always keeps pulling them "home". Party over country.
