But I think two national issues that could win with everyone is healthcare and taxes.

We saw the national outrage over the healthcare repeal effort. That’s a “winning” issue, IMO. If the Dems have a good tax plan to offer, that makes sense to low info voters, then I think they can get mileage out of that too.

Then whatever local issue is a hot button topic.

But the most important part is ground game, doesn’t matter how good the issues are, if they can’t turn out the vote, it just doesn’t matter.
