Draw contrasts with Republicans without going negative by describing our candidates in simple language:

Integrity. Courage. Honor.

I think underscoring moral values and basic principles will definitely help Democratic candidates and encourage even more people to vote.

Because we're fighting for the very soul of the Nation. Plus, the Trumpster and his enablers could not lay claim to any of those descriptors.

I think Tea Pain has a point, too: choose a short, clear list of priorities and then hammer those points relentlessly. For me the primary issues are healthcare, immigration, right to privacy and the environment.

Lots of other issues out there but those are the ones at the top of my personal 'gotta fix yesterday' list.

It would be interesting to see what the list of other Dems might be.

The RePutin Party has abdicated any claim to those things.
