ELECTION/GOP/PENNSYLVANIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “President Donald Trump said on Thursday [3-22-18] that although he knows he’s popular with voters, he doesn’t know whether his success will carry over to Republicans running for office in 2018. Trump described the energy at some of his recent events, saying that the ‘level of love’ during a recent speech in support of House candidate Rick Saccone — who on Wednesday [3-21-18] conceded last week’s special election in Pennsylvania to Democrat Conor Lamb — was ‘incredible,’ and calling an earlier rally in December in Pensacola, Florida, ‘rocking.’ The Senate candidate he backed in that speech, Roy Moore, also lost his bid against a Democrat in a special election in Alabama.”
