‘Morning Joe’: Trump Was Brought in to Close the Deal and Could Not Get It Done

EXCERPT:

HILLYARD: "This was Conor Lamb who was the former Marine, the former federal prosecutor, everybody knows that story but also it came down to those local issues. And I talked to this man, Anthony Ross, who I first met on Monday over in Canonsburg in Washington County and he at the time — he was a Trump voter and he told me he was unsure how he was going to vote. I called him up late last night and he told me he cast his vote for Conor Lamb and he said, in his words, what fried Rick Saccone’s butt was his unwillingness to concretely say where he stood with labor in this district. This was a man that worked for 42 years at a sheet and tubing steel facility in Cannonsburg when it shut down in 2008 and he sail ultimately he felt that Conor Lamb, while he still supports Donald Trump, was that candidate to represent PA-18."
GEIST: "Fascinating. Vaughn Hillyard inside the district. Also you talked about all that Republican money. The President of the United States brought in to close the deal at the last minute and apparently could not get it done."
