Apparently the midterms can be won by the Dems

of they fine tune their campaign to their specific district and not campaign using national, larger Dem issues. The moron's popularity (or lack of) is a bonus but candidates don't need to attack him the way GOP candidates usually do.

And Lamb never mentioned Trump once that I saw. It was an appeal to sanity, let’s solve problems, etc. Very refreshing.

Why Saccone chose to run against Nancy P I have no idea. Lamb politely said early on that he did not support her.
