If Democrats are smart, this is what they'd focus on. Healthcare is one of the things that's both noticeably gotten worse and directly attributable to republican policy. There's also no shortage of people with 'i didn't have health insurance' horror stories. Toss in a dash of 'mcconnell already took your insurance, now he's coming for grandma's medicare.'

But that will likely be a back burner issue for them compared to issues like corruption, taxes and equal rights. Which is dum. Those issues are all important, but they don't tend to pull voters from the middle.
