Pennsylvania election results should frighten Republicans in November

Barack Obama lagged far behind Hillary Clinton with moderate suburban voters. Hillary Clinton lagged far behind Obama among blue-collar Democrats.

Conor Lamb had none of those problems on Tuesday and it should frighten Republicans in November.

With Lamb holding a slight lead after the Pennsylvania special election but the race still too close to call, the Democrat managed to successfully woo both traditional Republicans repelled by Donald Trump and the traditional Democrats repelled by Hillary Clinton.

The result signals a potentially potent electoral coalition for Democrats in the midterms after Lamb managed to turn a congressional district that Trump won by 20 points in 2016 into a dead heat.
