ok, if you stick with the federal level, sure there aren't many. but go to the state level and prepare to die. all that being said, lamb isn't a blue dog. if we go with a recent example, doug jones is blue dog as gently caress.

but painting the dems as pro union is still laughable. even ones who seem good are pretty neoliberal when it comes to them and try to kneecap them whenever possible in the name of the free market.

ok fair enough

blue dog dems don't exist anymore in the house and barely in the senate. arguable not

blue dogs were wiped out in 2010 but if the democrats sweep the house in 2018 they will re-appear because a lot of them will be elected in conservative leaning districts

that being said a "conservative" democrat today would be significantly to the left of the "conservative" democrat pre-2010 I think

No. He is not more conservative on social issues than the avg dem, he is strongly pro labor and pro tariff due to running in steel country. Which, by the by is the opposite of the blue dog "free trade, pro-business" position.

Are you trying to be wrong?

not nesessarily, ike skelton was a pretty iconic blue dog and he was against reagan/bush tax cuts for unions etc but against abortion/for guns/pro-military
