One place Mueller never comes up

Axios

At a half-dozen events 2020 candidates held in Iowa over the weekend, attendees barely mentioned President Trump — and not a single person asked about Robert Mueller’s investigation or Russia.

The big picture: Instead, most of the questions were about policies — most often health care, climate and immigration.

The attendees at a soup dinner, meet-and-greets, and town halls asked hard-hitting questions about biofuels, money in politics, taxing the wealthy, preventive health care, arts in education, immigration reform, the environment, abolishing the filibuster rule in the Senate, and foreign policy.

Why it matters: Voters are giving the Democrats space to build specific brands based on their own visions and proposals.


Just like the 2018 election...

It's always been that way. Talking policies are a must.

When it comes to electing the president, our candidate had damn well better be tough as nails to beat Trump. Those policies mean nothing if our candidate loses.

If I were running our nominee's campaign my slogan would be Make America America Again.
