Opinion: Why 2020 must be a referendum on Trump
President Trump waves as he boards Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base, Md. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer March 12 at 3:14 PM President Trump remains deeply unpopular around the country, especially in states he needed to win in 2016. Democrats would be wise to do everything possible to keep the focus on Trump and his awfulness.
Keep in mind these numbers reflect where he is when the economy is strong, when the special counsel report has not been released, when congressional and Southern District of New York prosecutors are still combing through his finances, and when hope exists of a face-saving deal with China that would avoid escalation of the trade war. If all or some of those turn out badly, things could really get ugly.
Democrats have two tasks. First, avoid picking an obvious target for Trump to shred, either someone far to the left or someone who seems shaky, uncertain, equivocating or weak. He’s got his “socialist” tag ready for the first category. With regard to the second concern — gravitas, strength, leadership abilities — Democrats should consider how their nominee will stand up to Trump.
