Democrats' risky new Trump strategy: Pry him away from his own party, and win back his voters

[Trekologer]

6. I think it is actually really smart

The voters that Trump was able to peel off of the Democratic coalition bought his promises to increase jobs, fix infrastructure, provide great health care, etc. The 2018 midterm comes first. So, the Democrats should come up with plans for just those things.

Jobs? Here are policy changes that will create new well paying jobs.

Improve infrastructure? Here's a plan that goes above and beyond and doesn't rely on selling it all off to private interests.

Healthcare? How about Medicare for all.

The key is to formulate plans that achieve Trump's promises but at the same time would never pass a Republican Congress. That's how to peel him away from his own party-- use his campaign promises as a wedge. Then, in 2018, run on the proposals that Ryan and McConnell wouldn't even bring to the floor.
