"Their Biggest Mistake in the 2016 Election"

"As Donovan notes, Republicans have succeeded more in convincing Americans the tax cuts will benefit the overall economy than they have in persuading them it will benefit their personal bottom line. In the SurveyMonkey/Times survey, half of Americans still said they did not expect any financial benefit from it. Republicans are working every day to improve that number with the conviction that it represents their best chance of building a levee against a potential Democratic wave in November. That's something Democrats would forget at their peril, even as they careen through the daily maelstroms surrounding Trump."

Ronald Brownstein at The Atlantic warns Democrats against repeating "Hillary Clinton’s decision to focus almost all of her effort on convincing voters that Donald Trump did not share their values, while failing to effectively challenge his promise that he would represent their economic interests."
