How important do Democrats think it is to beat President Trump in 2020?
Obviously, most Democrats would say
it’s vitally important. Four more years of the Trump presidency could
allow him to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court. It would
worsen the climate crisis. It could cement his paranoid racism and scorn for democracy as the new American normal.
Given
these consequences, you would think that Democrats would be approaching
the 2020 campaign with a ruthless sense of purpose.
But they’re not, at
least not yet. They are not focusing on issues that expose Trump’s many
vulnerabilities. They have instead devoted substantial time to wonky
subjects that excite some progressive activists — and alienate most
American voters. Recent polls suggest that the Democrats really are
increasing the chances Trump will win re-election.
The
good news is that the campaign is still just getting started. Many
Americans haven’t yet paid much attention. The next phase starts
Thursday night, with a debate in Houston featuring the 10 leading candidates.
t’s a chance for Democrats to start treating the 2020 campaign with the urgency it deserves.
