Such infrastructure spending has long been a Democratic Party priority. However, Trump managed to communicate it in a way that Hillary Clinton did not.
I’m still waiting to hear the “bold solutions” that Democrats promise. I can think of one possibility: Why not propose some version of truly universal single-payer health care?
Trump said one trillion dollars. It was bullshit. Hillary Clinton said "$275 billion over 5 years." It was not bullshit. It also did not sound yuge.
