Opinion | Trump is Already Failing. That's the Key to a Big Democratic Rebound.

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : Mr. Sosnik was a senior adviser to President Bill Clinton from 1994 to 2000 and has advised more than 50 governors and U.S. senators.
53% : Doug Sosnik was a senior adviser to President Bill Clinton from 1994 to 2000 and has advised over 50 governors and U.S. senators.
52% : "Coherent and appealing" are difficult goals, of course, when you are a federation of special interests -- such as abortion rights, the environment, social justice, gun control, L.G.B.T.Q. rights and a pro-labor agenda -- more than an inspiring and forward-looking political party.
50% : His blundered attempt to freeze federal money in ways that might affect popular programs, like Medicaid and Head Start, is an example of a prime opportunity to brand the G.O.P. as failing dangerously at governing.
44% : Especially for the past 10 years, the Democrats' primary mission was defeating Donald Trump rather than articulating a coherent and appealing vision for the future.
38% : Under Mr. Trump, the G.O.P. has become a working-class party, and its base is full of people who will be hardest hit by cuts in Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, which now constitute almost half of all federal spending.
19% : With that in mind, Democrats need to start making a compelling argument that President Trump and Republicans are failing at governing.
