Willie Geist on Conor Lamb Win: ‘There’s No Spinning This’ by the GOP

EXCERPT:

GEIST: "And there’s no spinning this, Joe. The White House spin last night was the polls early — the recent polls said it was 4, 5 or 6 points for Conor Lamb. The President goes in and look, it's only a handful of votes. The President pulled him closer. Well, the reason that gap closed from 16 months ago to plus 20 from Trump arguably is because of Donald Trump and what he’s done over those 16 months so that doesn’t hold any water. I’m going to quote what you always say, which is find a candidate who fits the district. Democrats found a candidate who fit this district in Conor Lamb. He was not Nancy Pelosi. He was a guy who comes from the place, who knows the place, who speaks to the issues that the people in that district care about. They had a good candidate who ran a good campaign and there’s a lesson in that for Democrats coming up in '18."
