How to hit Trump: 2020 Democrats are testing different tactics


By Eric Bradner and Gregory Krieg, CNN

(CNN)Sen. Kamala Harris calls President Donald Trump a "fraud." Former Vice President Joe Biden says Trump is "literally an existential threat to America." South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg wants to "change the channel" on the President.

2020 Democratic presidential candidates are attempting to demonstrate their toughness and ability to draw sharp contrasts with Trump to the party's primary voters.

Polls show why it's a crucial skill: In choosing their nominee, Democratic voters are most concerned about the ability to defeat Trump. And a CNN poll released last week showed 54% of Americans believe Trump will win re-election in 2020.

As the pace of candidate forums accelerates and debates start, the Democratic candidates are road-testing their lines of attack.

Show up with your best canine friend at a Trump event. He hates dogs (and I bet dogs hate him). Let it show and see who is willing to stand with him. There are more dog lovers than there are Trump lovers.

Seriously. All but one of those polling above 3% are competent people of integrity who believe in traditional American principles and are committed to goals that serve the people, and that's what most Americans want.

Regarding the polls showing our Democratic candidates all beating Trump by significant margins, while his own support by every measurement stayed around 41% to 42%, someone pointed out:
