It's just my opinion...

[Jeffersons Ghost]

But, if our leading (in the polls) Democratic candidates don't stop talking about gun-control and healthcare, they will rally Teflon Don's support base.

Every viable Democratic candidate should focus on tRump's tax-returns, connections to ancient enemies of the USA and his numerous felonies, along with his constant attempts to circumvent to US Constitution.

1. Yep

[Perseus]

10. Well, it should be all of the above

Like someone said on TV, there is so much corruption that forces Democrats to focus on only a couple of things and not on all that should be reasons for impeachment.

[crazytown]

11. Corruption and guns are one of the same

85+% want universal background checks but NRA money owns the GOP.

Healthcare - Big Pharma $$$ blocks reforms with vast majority support - Allowing Medicare to negotiate directly, and the Drug Re-Importation ban.

2. Medical costs are the number 1 cause of bankruptcy.

So we should ignore the uninsured, and those declaring bankruptcy?

And ignore the 30,000 gun deaths every year?

How about GOP racism?

How about voter suppression?

[Jeffersons Ghost]

12. No those important aspects should not be ignored: but...

We must realize how the GOP and faux news rallies supporters to vote for criminals:

"THESE DEMOCRAT SOCIALISTS ARE GOING TO TAKE AWAY YOUR GUNS!"

3. It's a democratic party election

All our candidates agree regarding to all that Trump stuff. How can we pick one person to be at the top of the ticket if they just nod heads all the time? We pick based on democratic party policies that will long outlast Trump.

8. Right, anti-Trump focussed debates will show no differentiation between our candidates. But also...

...as Buttigieg and others have said, we're not going to win just by pointing out how bad Trump is. We'll win by having a POSITIVE vision of what WE will do, not a negative version of the other side.

Bottom line: Half the country already knows Trump is awful, and the other half doesn't care.

4. The number one issue is corruption, which is why the other issues exist

And need addressing. Attack the years of corruption in DC over the years and just about every issue can and will be seen as a result of that corruption.

7. + ∞

It's.So.Obvious.

[NCLefty]

5. If we keep having mass shootings, they better keep talking about guns.

We can't keep pretending they're going to magically stop on their own.

[honest.abe]

6. yeah, I sort of agree with you.

I wish the focus was more on the best way to defeat Trump and fix the mess he has created.

[left-of-center2012]

9. It's the 'circular firing squad'

The candidates rip each other apart in order to get ahead.
Then the one left takes on Trump.
