Democrats discover surprising Trump policy Achilles' heel that they will hammer in 2020 election
“Greenberg found that working-class white voters who switched from Barack Obama to Trump are deeply angry about soaring prescription drug prices,” Plum Line writer Greg Sargent noted. “As a result, they vehemently oppose a key provision benefiting Big Pharma at the core of Trump’s renegotiation of NAFTA — which he touts as proof that he’s delivering for his working-class white base.”
Trump is likely to build his reelection campaign on two major issues, Sargent wrote: “prescription drugs and trade.” Both got air time during his State of the Union address earlier in the week.
But the linkage of the two for white, working-class Obama-turned-Trump voters is “game-changing,” Greenberg wrote in a blog provided to the Post.

In his focus groups, Greenberg found that the white working-class voters he polled “hate” pharmaceutical companies and believe Big Pharma is the cause of prescription price-gouging.

As they say the devil is in the detail and Trump does not do detail!
