DNC treasure trove of opposition research against trump and how they will use it




DNC has huge 2020 research trove against Trump: "Let's say [Trump] goes to Youngstown, Ohio. We have everything he said, what he promised in 2016 to that community - maybe it's 'that bridge will be fixed' - then we'll show what's actually happened since"

DNC amassing huge 2020 research trove against Trump: report

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has reportedly built a trove of opposition research against President Trump in advance of the 2020 election.

Axios reported that the DNC has compiled its haul by sifting through nearly 7,000 lawsuits from all 50 states. The organization has also reportedly compiled a comprehensive document of every time Trump told supporters when campaigning in 2016 that Mexico would pay for a wall along the southern border.


The cache of research is expected to make its way to local reporters, groups and Democrats in battleground states, according to a source who spoke with Axios.

"Let’s say [Trump] goes to Youngstown, Ohio. We have everything he said, what he promised in 2016 to that community — maybe it’s 'that bridge will be fixed' — then we’ll show what’s actually happened since," a source told the news outlet.

Additionally, the DNC reportedly has examples of how American farmers and truckers feel about Trump's tariffs, the ongoing trade dispute with China, and the way the GOP tax law has hurt the trucking industry.

DNC Chairman Tom Perez plans to center the 2020 presidential race around Trump’s “performance as president, not his bigotry or awfulness," according to a source who was present at a meeting of 20 Democratic operatives and strategists where Perez spoke.

The Clinton volunteer lawyer team recruited a couple hundred volunteer lawyers to review 6000+ cases. Marc Elias’ firm had scanned these cases onto a database and we had volunteer lawyers review and do summaries of these cases. At the end they first ran out of cases and then added a good number. I reviewed about 100 cases

I wonder if Marc turned this over to the DNC
