Focus group: Trump supporters like liberal proposals but still love Trump
Alexi McCammondMay 13, 2019
Some of President Trump's supporters in Sioux City, Iowa love liberal populist proposals. They just don't love the 2020 Democrats as the messengers.
Between the lines: A focus group of swing voters — all of whom voted for Trump in 2016 — strongly supported a student loan debt plan that would cancel up to $50,000 in student debt for people whose families make less than $100,000 per year. (That's Elizabeth Warren's proposal, though her name wasn't mentioned in the question.)
- They also want to tax American corporations, specifically big banks, to pay for Trump's infrastructure plans.
- This was the main takeaway from the Engagious/FPG focus group of swing voters I watched last week, which included 11 voters who supported Barack Obama and then Trump. All but one said they would re-elect Trump if it were him versus Hillary Clinton again.
- But it also suggests that Warren's own policies are more popular with these voters than she is, given that the voters were skeptical of the entire Democratic field.
- Taxing big banks was the most popular idea to pay for infrastructure, beating out an increase in the federal gas tax or borrowing money from other countries.
- Eight of the 11 respondents said that managing student loan debt is a problem for them or someone they know.
- "It's not right what's going on with the overwhelming student loan debt in our country," said 36-year-old Elliot H. "[Universities] are making billions and billions of dollars in keeping people in poverty upon graduating, and that just doesn't seem right."
- They're not excited about any of the 2020 Democrats running for president, and they only really recognized Warren, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders. "The presidency is a man's job," said 44-year-old Jamison P.
- The economy was the issue that came up the most among this group when discussing their top concern heading into the 2020 presidential election. And although half of the respondents thought the national economy is booming, no one said they've seen an increase in their own wages or financial situation.
Conservatives could wipe the dems out of they were willing to craft 'conservative-progressive' policies.

I'm telling yall...this feels different
you mean to tell me having a specific plan for multiple individual communities works just as well or better than dismissing specific concerns of black communities and just telling us "all boats" while making every effort to court trump supporters?
Trump is such an opportunist, he might just do it on some last minute hail-mary shyt.Conservatives could wipe the dems out of they were willing to craft 'conservative-progressive' policies.
Imagine him trying to sell student loan reform after Trump University.
The media would let him get away with it too.

but they're, well some are, putting in the same effort to run for pres in a race they have absolutely no shot of winning. you don't win if you don't try. completely stupid to sit out if you know you can win or at least be competitive, sometimes a competitive race sets up a win for the next electionI don't blame these guys for not running for senate in these red states. Their opponents just take that Koch money, run ads, and sit back. While a Dem candidate has to do dozens of town halls, knocking on thousands of doors, get creative with fundraising because we can't take money from the wealthy or super pacs and at the end of the day some entitled fakkit says "You didn't inspire me enough. I'm staying home"
if youre going to spend time and money on a long shot you might as well bet on the powerball instead of the scratch off
