Attack the strengths of your opponent.

This has been a mantra of the Republicans for many years. Just as Karl Rove and GWBush were able to attack the military service and the Purple Hearts of John Kerry to their advantage.

If the Democrats were to attempt a similar strategy, what would they attack??

Taxcuts have always been a sure winner for Republicans. How could Democrats turn that asset into a liability?

Do most of the working slobs that vote Republican actually believe that taxcuts are going to help them? Are they going to have better roads and better schools and a better future for their children if they give more and more to the wealthy?

How should Democrats attack these taxcut proposals of Trump and the Republicans?

Democrats have saved the bacon of retired people for the last 37 years, and retired vote republican. Democrats have fought for more worker pay for 37 years, but blue collar people are voting more and more republican.

Democrats should do nothing for two election cycles, nothing to prevent republican chaos. The elderly and working class people will get what they voted for and idiots like Susan Sarandon and Cornell West will get the chaos that they dream of, NONE will like what they get. After the cluster mess, Democrats would have to be in a coma not to win office.
