      1. Let's think a bit more about knowing when to pick fights, as it relates to Trump.

      2. Trump is going to be so awful in so many different ways that it's important to step back & know which attacks to make.

      3. The goal of picking fights is to diminish Trump's overall power, so should be areas where wedges can divide his coalition.

      4. There's an uneasy fit between Trump's economic populism and the austerity agenda of congressional & Senate GOP.

      5. That's why I think Medicare privatization is a good issue to go after Trump on:https://newrepublic.com/article/138721/democrats-need-pick-big-fight-medicare …

          6. But aside from popular issues, the other big consideration is norm violations: Stuff where Trump goes against democratic values.

          7. The democratic norms violations always deserve push-back not because they are popular (often aren't) but to mitigate damage.

          I really don't think Trump will be dumb enough to privatize Medicare. He knows his voters
