I've been seeing a lot of comments from people who declare one or two or three people are unfit to bring the party together and stand up to Trump but very few of these people actually touch on what they think is a strong candidate.
So I'm making this thread for us to drill down what we think works against Trump and the GOP.
This is not a thread to complain about who is and potentially is running come 2020. Leave that for the threads specifically about those people.
Frankly I see more than 10 things are required and will cap myself on 20.
Personality
1. Always be willing to talk back to Trump
2. Mock Trump at every turn
3. Call out the deplorables while telling our base we have to carry them
4. Have enthusiasm for the technological upheaval
5. Be jubilant about how big and small groups people resisted Trump, even the conservatives.
Connections
6. Get the support of every union accept police unions
7. Get the support of struggling 6 figure earners
8. Get the support of social and environmental shareholder activists (don't confuse them with profit and expansion driven shareholder activists)
9. Get the support of the defense and intelligence industries
10. Chip away at Trump's ridiculously high appeal among Latinos.
11. They make a strong effort in red states not with the expectation of winning them but in ensuring the democrats and fence-sitters in these areas know they will be supported a year to a year and half later with grass root campaigns to fix some of their local politics.
Policy
12. They intend to disband the internment camps immediately.
13. They promise to End the trade war with the only expectation from the countries we targeted to also revert back to old trade rules.
14. They promise to End the tax breaks within the first year.
15. Offer to develop infrastructure in interstate communications, overseas transportation and economic financing through stage 1 form of Universal Basic Income.
16. Offer to develop a government agency that essentially creates a nationwide union that anyone can join. It will be highly focused on strengthening temps, contractors, interns and minimum wage staff.
17. Present a plan for aggressive expansion into the arctic and poorer countries exporting our expertise and extracting mutual value from these areas.
18. Promise to revamp libraries around the country to have annexes for 3D printing centers where people can collaborate and develop their own goods onsite more cheaply than buying from OEMs and ODMs.
19. Guide the country in developing drone technology for many applications and creating new standards on professional usage and flight paths across the country as well as setting standards for recreational.
20. Mandate that all public schools will include courses in financing+economics, rudimentary programming+engineering and a student overseas interaction program.
