I think this is a lesson not learned. Trump didn't win the popular election, but he and Sanders garnered more enthusiasm than Clinton in large part due to their messaging that was more in favor of the middle-class. Regardless of whether the policies since then by the administration have followed through on that, the messaging is what got the enthusiasm. By running first to Wall Street, these three are showing that they didn't learn the important lesson from 2016, that the people are tired of Wall Street having the influence it does.

Court blue collar and middle class voters and paint Trump as being too tied to Wall Street and the elites. 

"Instead of tax relief for middle America, Donald Trump gave his friends on Wall Street big tax breaks"

"Donald Trump's trade wars have meant layoffs and higher costs for working families"
