Democrats know this; that Republicans are very vulnerable as they continue to dig themselves into a deep hole. They will have this brilliant opportunity to regain power and control, that is, if they do everything in their power to vastly increase voter turnout.
They need to take advantage of that Bully Pulpit that Barack rarely used, to put a spotlight on all the above-mentioned measures that these low level politicians are taking against this country.
Trump and his Republican cohorts have clearly shown that they have no desire to improve health care and provide coverage for all Americans; they just want to tear down Obamacare; that won't fly with voters.
They really don't want to rebuild this nation's infrastructure or deal positively with the problem of climate change. A sizable number of them are backing Trump's wild and crazy idea about building a wall that, if actually built, will be called "Trump's folly."
Trump is never going to stop accelerating down this road leading to disaster. Republicans will not stop their attacks on important social programs.
Trump just recently announced that he intends to do away with regulations covering carbon emissions; those on cars and power plants; also regulations designed to curb financial abuses on Wall Street, and those that involve our health, the Clean Water and Clean Air Acts.
They have absolutely no interest in doing anything about the massive inequity of wealth and income between those at the top and the rest of Americans.
They want to do away with the laws relative to abortions and reverse Roe V. Wade. They want to destroy Planned Parenthood, eliminate the EPA, the Department of Education. Who knows what their next targets will be?
