Trump is doing something different. He's playing to both his base (I think the pro-life thing is going to backfire on him) on culture shit, and to the swing voters who gifted him the presidency in the Rust Belt with economic messages.

The supposedly electable (Biden) Democrats' economic message is <tumbleweeds graphic here>. They're all about impeachment, and the evil of Trump. Yeah, that rallies the base. But not in the Rust Belt. Not where it counts. To rally the base there, you have to have a message about what you're going to do for the middle class better than Trump. I see none of that.
Uh, OK. We'll agree to disagree about what the Democratic base likes.
