President Trump Reportedly Says PA Democrat Won Because He's 'Like Trump' | The Last Word | MSNBC

Any excuse will do if he can blow his own horn. He is worse than Bannon in that regard.

[SFolkes]

What? Lamb had bone spurs? No, that can't be it.

[ajadrew]

Makes me sick continually hearing his self deluded bs...

[HKim]

Claim credit for opposite party victory? Huh? Wait...what?

[AccidentalLyrics]

Donald Trump is not anything like Conor Lamb. Conor Lamb is an honorable man

[thatguywhohatesnoobs]

Only Trump can call a loss a win for him...

As Mr Dennison said, "the world is watching."
Get out there and vote!
Good luck from Australia.

He partially right. Conor Lamb didn't win because of Trump. He won IN SPITE of Trump. Maybe the best thing that could happen to Democratic candidates is for Trump to come out and campaign for their opponents.

[VanlifewithAlan]

If Hillary had won he would have said it was because she was more like Trump than Trump.

[billybob]

Some Pennsylvania voter said she voter for Lamb because, you know, he tells the truth.

When that electoral map grows more and more blue, Trump is going to run out of excuses. Instead of blaming others it will dawn on him that he is on the nose, not that he would ever be man enough to own up to it.

[avamaria]

Trump is always so desperate for attention. I thought his father gave him more than enough growing up.

[RurouniStarchild]

Okay, is it me or is Trump sweating profusely? I can see the glisten of sweat coming from his nose.

[dmg]

Republicans?
Ignorant?
Coincidence?
I think not.

[Bonesph]

Looks like Trump was using coke again.

[alunchurcher]

don the con has finally cracked up, trying to claim victory is down to him is lunacy, he needs a decent psych test asap.

[JustMe-emhl]

Trump just making excuses for his embarrassing defeat.

[b.ffreud]

He can't stop talking about himself.

[backandstillbgmsdangerusda]

Wow, trump can wring a me, me, me, narcissistic spin out of anything, including an election defeat. Is there anything he can't turn into being about him?

[CaptnDeadpool]

Does he know which party he ran on behalf of?
