High fives to the letter writer for “Schmitt didn’t struggle as much as his television ads claim” (Oct.19): These paeans to class warfare by GOP Senate candidate Eric Schmitt are beginning to reek of self-parody. “Workers of the World, Unite!” stances don’t resonate well coming from the right side of the aisle, where no corporate […]
