Go big or go home might be the new motto for the Democrats' sprawling cast of 2020 presidential contenders.
At a moment when the country remains closely divided between the two major political parties, the 2020 Democrats are rushing to propose expansive and expensive proposals that envision massive change in public policy across a wide array of issues.The scale and sweep of these ideas -- on issues from health care, climate change and college affordability to voting rights and tax policy -- represent one of the defining choices for the party heading into the 2020 contest with President Donald Trump.
Yet many Democrats believe they will be shielded from those Republican arguments by the huge cost of the Trump tax cut: Its nearly $2 trillion price tag over the next decade means they can claim to fund big components of their agenda by retrenching it. "One thing they have that Clinton didn't is the Trump tax cuts," Bennett says."That is different, and that is a big pot of money they can spend.
