A.B. Stoddard: Rick Saccone-Conor Lamb Race Is ‘Making Republicans Incredibly Nervous’

EXCERPT:

STODDARD: "It’s a big deal. Republicans are very scared about a big loss or a near mess and the fact that Conor Lamb could actually come close even if he doesn’t win and Rick Saccone only grabs a district that Trump won by 20 points or 20 and a half, if he gets it by 1 or 2 that will ignite a huge discussion about what’s going on and Conor Lamb has really played — he went to perfect candidate school. He has the support of unions. He doesn’t talk about being a Democrat. He doesn’t bust on President Trump. He really is playing to the line of that district enough not on every position but highlighting what unifies them, the miners endorsement. Rick Saccone is drowning. He's not only a bad candidate but he has in Conor Lamb someone who really is centrist and it’s going to be very hard to win that district even with the registration advantage. It’s just definitely a conservative district, but this is making Republicans incredibly nervous."
