Trump said that men and women deserve to be able to take time away from work to be with their children after they are born, that prescription medications should be made cheaper, that the criminal justice system has failed African Americans. He praised the courage of police officers, World War II veterans, Holocaust survivors, and astronauts. He said that free trade has destroyed the American dream in the post-industrial Midwest and that “great nations do not fight endless wars.” He said that all Americans, including infants in utero, are made in the image of God.
If Democrats want to run against Trump on the opposite of all these things, they should go ahead and try. They will lose. This is not a radical or far-right agenda. It is not in many parts even a Republican one, at least by the standards of the GOP in opposition under Barack Obama.
