Richard Goodstein: Conor Lamb Won Because Trump’s ‘Historically Unpopular’ and Voters Have ‘Buyer’s Remorse’

‘I think the suggestion that the tax cuts are what cost Rick Saccone or that won it for Conor Lamb is wrong’

RUSH EXCERPT:

GOODSTEIN: "Yeah, I think the suggestion that the tax cuts are what cost Rick Saccone or that won it for Conor Lamb is wrong. What won it for Conor Lamb is that Donald Trump is historically unpopular, period. Yeah, he came in to the district over the weekend and maybe caused it to tighten a little bit. But Connor lamb won because people do not like — buyer’s remorse about having elected Donald Trump. We’ve seen that. There’s 118 districts, Charles, that are kind of less red where Republicans hold seats. Those people — if you won by 5 or 10 or 15 and you’re Republican, and you won by that little last time, you have to look at the race. You go, why am I going to knock my head against the wall to be embarrassed this fall?"
