3. Electing Republicans is the same as voting for the US to be a run-down third-world country.

Trump and Republicans had two years of total control and they did nothing about infrastructure. Instead they wasted two years trying to take away healthcare for millions of Americans and giving an enormous gift of tac breaks to the wealthy and big corporations (which the corporations at least squandered) while saddling future generations with another trillion dollars of debt.

Campaign ads need to focus on what Trump and Republicans did in those two years and what they would likely do with complete control again, which is finish the job of taking away healthcare, give the billionaires another tax cut, and pay for it by cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

So, sad. Infrastrucure program could have avoided this. nt iluvtennis Mar 2020 #1
