Democrats should continue talking about their main points to win in November's midterms, and quit the socialism branding. It's fine to be against Trump. He now has the lowest approval since his presidency began -- people don't trust him.
They support Mueller by 20 points over Trump on the investigation of Russian election collaboration. They know the "Trump Tower meeting" happened, and they know about the Bank of Cyprus and other Russian banks covering his bankruptcies.
With the Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougall hush-money confirmations in the Michael Cohen guilty pleas, and the president's lie to Comey about having no time to be in the Moscow hotel alleged in the Steele dossier, Americans are making their own determinations.
Those are allegations for which Democrats can demand answers if the president wants to prove there is no Russian "kompromat" or blackmail vulnerability.
But if they want to retake the Congress, Democrats need their own positive issues, just as Newt Gingrich did with the "Contract with America" in 1994. Here's a 10-point plan that incorporates the upset platforms of Gillum, Pressley and New York's Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who also defeated a powerful 10-term incumbent.
1. Medicare for all, and protect the Affordable Care Act
2. Reject climate-change denial
3. Gun safety
