Rick Klein: “A full week was consumed by President Trump’s decision to single out four freshman Democratic House members in singularly offensive fashion. The president continues to fuel that storyline, while this week figures to be consumed by Wednesday’s long-awaited Capitol Hill testimony featuring Robert Mueller.”
“The urgency is real for the roughly two-thirds of the field still clamoring for a spot in the fall debates. Efforts to contrast plans with Sen. Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All proposal or Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s college-debt forgiveness plan — to cite just two prominent examples — need to be heard to get traction.”
“The condemnation of Trump has been swift and unanimous among Democrats. It’s also low-hanging political fruit — made no less tempting by the knowledge that the president would like them to pick it… Labeling Trump, though, is the easy part of the Democratic primary. It’s harder for candidates to turn the focus to something, or someone, else.”
