Post Trump Democratic Politics…..

Axios does a piece on the 2028 Presidential election and beyond for Democrats…

Not having Donald around ?

But one COULD say ‘Not so fast’?

Isn’t Trump STILL taking shots at Biden and even Obama?

Further More?

One would assume JD Vance WILL have the SAME problem as Harris (Worse) carrying ole Donald on his back?

 

Democrats probably will be safe to remind voters of Donald Trump screw up of the Economy thru Over Done Immigration Actions, Meat Cliver Government Cuts, Huge Tariff’s/Impoort Taxes and of COURSE?…..A War that has zoomed Oil and Gas Prices thru the roof….

Wait?

Did I leave out the continual CHOAS we ALL lived thru during 2.0?

 

Folks?

Democrats gonna run on a Promise of a Better Economy…

But they are ALSO gonna run on Actually Making America BETTER with OUT Donald J. Trump in the White

House….

Bet on That…

 

Zoom in: Fighting Trump has been Democrats’ driving force for the better part of a decade. But he won’t be on the ballot again, and Messina and other strategists argue the party needs a clear, forward-looking agenda soon.

• Democrats criticize Trump’s administration on immigration, affordability and foreign policy, but there’s little consensus on what their own governing vision should be.

Messina says Democrats leaned too heavily on anti-Trump sentiment in 2024 after outperforming expectations in the 2022 midterms by running as the non-MAGA party.

• He believes Democrats’ new vision should focus on the economy
• David Plouffe, Obama’s 2008 campaign manager and a senior adviser on Kamala Harris‘ 2024 campaign, likewise told us that Trump’s sinking popularity doesn’t mean Democrats have solved their own problems.
  • “If your opponent turns the ball over five times in a football game, you’ll almost certainly win,” Plouffe said. “That doesn’t mean you played a great game.”
  • “Democrats for the next decade have to be able to win elections in what are now red states in neutral and even challenging environments. That is the test. And anyone who thinks we are ready to do that is spending too much time inhabiting a political world that does not exist.”

  By the numbers: Polls indicate that even as voters turn on Trump, they haven’t warmed much to Democrats.

  • 52% of voters see the Democratic Party negatively, while only 30% view it positively, according to a recent NBC survey — worse ratings than they give the GOP, which is also unpopular.
  • The same poll found voters trust Republicans more than Democrats to deal with border security, crime and immigration. On the economy, Democrats didn’t have an advantage despite Americans’ anger over continuing high prices under Trump. Voters were split on which party would do a better job handling it.

  Friction points: Democrats are deeply divided over what they’d do if they returned to power. They’re on the same page on some issues, such as reversing the GOP’s cuts to the Affordable Care Act, but they’re all over the map on many others….

  ….

Many Democrats say they don’t need a clear agenda to win this year.

• Midterms almost always are referendums on the party in power, and Democrats have overperformed in elections up and down the ballot over the last year as voters have soured on Trump.

What’s next: Left-wing and centrist Democrats, including potential presidential candidates, are beginning to roll out their hopes for the party’s direction.

• They’re putting forward plans to cut taxes, take on Big Tech and overhaul education — early attempts to shape the party’s post-Trump identity….
