The ONLY issue that matters in the next election(s) is the economy. Sadly, that's all the deciding 1/3rd of the voting block cares about, and that's ALL the Dems should be campaigning on. ONLY way to win over the middle.
The people who voted for Donald Trump because of the “economy” or because he “won’t do wars” have proven themselves to be the most gullible people on the face of the planet.

Or they were always lying and it was about bigotry and hatred all along.
