I was trying to find out what tax plans or welfare programs they are proposing for the country if they win in 2018.

Oddly, the only thing it seems currently is they are going to run is a completely made-up lie about a relationship that never existed. President Trump has been absolutely vindicated on the politically made up Russia probe.

The Democrats aren't even talking about tax reform because workers are seeing much fatter paychecks already. Every time they try to talk about Trump's tax cuts they lose lots of votes by calling thousands of dollars a year extra for many middle-class as crumbs.

The Democrats really can't come up with anything because the middle-class love Trump's big tax cuts.

They can't mention health-care because Republicans are smart and are just going to let Obama's expensive health care tonic collapse in a year or two.

The only thing they can really propose at this time is expansion of the welfare state. That will be interesting as usually Democrats start proposing lots of welfare goodies a couple months before a general election.

I just wonder what they are proposing for 2018 other than Identity politics that segments Americans into micro-groups plus drives the country apart and the completely made-up Russia probe that President Trump has been vindicated and cleared of many, many times already.

They're going to run a campaign against America. Which includes protecting non-citizens residing here illegally, increasing immigration from third world countries, weakening our national defense, more bad unilateral trade deals, chasing more businesses to other countries, a less transparent government, more spying on americans, impeaching the president, disrespecting our soldiers/police/flag/traditions.

So far, all they're running on is "We're not Trump".

Unions support the middle class, always have. Why are we know crediting it because of Trump. Tax cuts don't mean anything. We need healthcare and retirement benefits

Yeah but the Left (and their liberal media friends) are good at selling those things in a nice neat package for the gullible masses, who will fall for it.

For example, protecting illegals is sold as “protecting diversity” or “fighting racism.”

Weakening our military is sold as “reducing stockpiles of war.”

And their anti-business stance is sold as “fighting Wall Street/big corporations/the rich.”

I'm sure it will include plans on how to increase the foreign sourced democrat electorate and instilling animus to get them to vote against Republicans. Democrats wrap it up in a slick package but it's all they ever run on really.

There is an ironworker in Wisconsin running on "I'm not Paul Ryan."
