Well, giving facts and information didn't get anywhere either, so here we are.
Here's Conor Lamb's campaign site, under "Priorities":
https://conorlamb.com/priorities/
On ACA: "The Affordable Care Act has flaws,
but it has provided affordable coverage to more than a million Pennsylvanians who were previously uninsured.
Our representatives in Congress should be working together to build on that progress, fix what isn't working, and make the law better.
Instead, Republicans in Congress spent the past year trying to take health insurance away from people with no plan to replace it. Now, costs are likely to go up for many of us, especially those with preexisting conditions. That is unacceptable, and it's a failure of leadership."
On Medicare, Social Security, and the GOP tax bill: "Within 12 hours of
giving away our tax dollars to the wealthy and big corporations, Speaker Paul Ryan announced that he would try to pay for it by coming after Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid. It didn't take long for the Republican leadership in Washington to make clear that once they drove this nation another $1.5 trillion in debt,
they were going to use that as an excuse to cut the programs seniors depend on and paid into all their lives."
On Unions: "I support unions, and I'm proud to be endorsed by the AFL-CIO. I believe that all workers have the right to organize and bargain collectively for better wages, benefits and working conditions. And I know that when unions do the work, it gets done on time and on budget."
The first two are the biggest legislative issues taken up during Trump's time in office, and Lamb draws a direct contrast to the views shared by the President and the GOP at large. The second is in direct contrast to the right-to-work type laws that Trump and the GOP have championed.
You can say his shooting a gun in an ad, or his own personal beliefs on abortion that he has stated would not dictate his legislating, puts him on the side of those issues with the GOP. But that doesn't make him "like Trump", and on the issues of actual substance he is on the complete opposite side as Trump and the GOP.
