It’s really striking how all the GOP ads imply Dem reps are crooked and the puppet of an unpopular party leader.
I wonder if Dems could have alleged something similar, but decided to talk about health care instead? Nah, probably not, that would be crazy.

Moderate Dems: “We all ran behind Biden! It’s AOC’s fault!”
Me: “Did you... did you try to tie your opponent to Donald Trump and yourself to Joe Biden?”
Moderate Dems: “No! We spent three years specifically avoiding it and begging Pelosi not to nationalize our races!”

In a little bit of historic irony, it was specifically Conor Lamb’s 2017 special election that convinced House Dems that the key to winning was to deemphasize Donald Trump. At the time, a few of us on here were very concerned over it, begged the party to rethink. 
Even as late as August, Lamb’s Trump-avoidant strategy was being cited as a model for Biden. Here’s the New York Times using Lamb’s experience to say the answer was to focus narrowly on policy and avoid talking Trump. How did that work out???
