<<But I'm hard pressed to think of what Harris would put at the top of her [economic policy] list.>>
As she's said on every occasion, it's about focusing on expanding opportunity for working families: expand the child tax credit, provide a tax credit for the first year of a child's life, enact a variety of proposed policies to incentivize building and rehabbing affordable housing, provide a tax credit to first-time home buyers, make health care and prescription medicines more affordable, and more.
It's a lot to get across in one sentence, agreed. But the focus is clear, sincere, and do-able.
<<Trump is very good about communicating his. ..[W]e can all feel pretty comfortable that we genuinely know what issues really motivate him.>>
I'm very comfortable that I know what really motivates him. It's not immigration or tariffs or any of that crap, no more than it was in his first term, when he talked big but accomplished little. Those are merely the kind of tropes used by authoritarians the world over to stoke self-righteous hostility among the "aggrieved." What really motivates Trump is: an unquenchable need for acclamation to assure him that he's not a sick, broken shell of a human being, power, money, and--perhaps most of all, this time around--staying out of prison.
