      3. Paul Ryan wants to privatize medicare soon (also in time social security). B/c Trump is president he has a shot: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/ryan-plans-to-phase-out-medicare-in-2017 …

      4.This is an incredibly unpopular policy. Ryan's plan would allow current seniors to keep medicare & offer future ones inadequate subsidy.

      5. Trump (like Clinton & Sanders) ran opposing cuts to medicare & social security. There is no mass appeal on this. None.

      6. Especially for the blue-collar Obama-to-Trump supporters & broader working class (both white & POC), this is a terrible policy.

      7. Beauty here is Paul wants to link repealing Obamacare with medicare cut. Which lets Dems defend both Obamacare & medicate in same fight

      8. So: you set up an "Emergency Committee To Save Medicare" headed by Sanders, Warren & Ellison.

      9. Trump might want to dissociate himself from Ryan's wretched plan so you label this from the start: The Trump/Ryan attack on Medicare.

      10. You make this a salient partisan wedge issue by noting, constantly, that they want to destroy both Medicare & Obamacare. Same fight.

      11. This is factually true but not the best political framing:https://twitter.com/dcbigjohn/status/797917799255576576 …

      Trump is s lot of things. Many of them terrible. But he's not Paul Ryan's puppet. The real question is whether @SpeakerRyan will be his

      12. If Ryan is going to try & push this stuff, then it's fair game to tell voters: "Trump betrayed you. He's Ryan's puppet."

      13. You pick this as the first fight to help define Trump's presidency and to drive a wedge between him & congressional GOP.

          does Ryan realize Trump is not a puppet?

          14. You also use this issue to move on from Clintonism & promote populist wing of the party: https://twitter.com/avizenilman/status/797956837756862464 …

          15. You pick this fight to show the Democrats (and broader opposition) have fight in them. And give the people a victory.
