So Saccone will probably win this seat pretending that Lamb is an open-borders globalist (even though he's waffling on DACA) who will be Nancy Pelosi's puppet (even though he's explicitly advocated for her replacement).

Why again do Democrats without an established resume ever tack right against these slimebuckets?

Labor leaders are frustrated with Lamb, who has not mentioned unions once in his ads despite promising to run on the back of their support. His district is loaded with union members.

Lamb's first ads were about protecting Social Security and Medicare, which are programs that labor unions care a lot about, AFAIK.

They also care about Right to Work, which Pennsylvania is dangerously on the verge of passing in a few years (and which Saccone has promised to vote for). I don't know why Lamb isn't at least mentioning that; it won't hurt him.

If Right to Work wasn't passed when Republicans had the trifecta, how can you say that it's on the verge of passing now with a Democratic governor?

1. I said "in a few years," implying that the outcome may depend on which party is in the governor's office.
2. Some western Pennsylvanian Republicans did not or do not support Right to Work--Tim Murphy being one of them, as he actually boasted some decent union support in the area. Someone can correct me here, but Rick Saccone would probably be the first anti-union politician to represent this district.
