‘Good luck with that’! Tom Steyer says Trump’s going to win unless Dems ‘take him down on the economy’ (and people have thoughts)

It doesn’t matter anymore that Donald Trump is a crook and he is bad for the American people. We have to take him down on the economy and get him out of the White House as soon as possible. pic.twitter.com/OwFxYkYMMS

The Dems have been constantly trying to downplay the strong economy, asking voters to believe them over their lying eyes, but what’s Steyer have in mind?

“He’s gonna beat us unless we can take him down on the economy,” Steyer just said.

Uh

This is hilarious. Tom Steyer "The economy isn't working" and "We have to take him down on the economy." Good luck on that. #DemDebate.

It isn’t difficult to read between the lines on this one:

What he really means is let’s hope the economy tanks

Nothing like rooting for bad things to happen to the American people as a platform… ?

So… tank the economy and blame it on Trump? https://t.co/zX4939UVu1

The economy is on fire. The only way you can take Trump down on the economy is if it goes south suddenly. Is that what you're rooting for, Steyer? Are you hoping for economic misery for the American people because it suits you politically, @TomSteyer https://t.co/0R1ZdWvhUM

The rest of the Dem field didn’t seem to want to go down the path Steyer suggested:

Notice no one even mentioned the economy after that.

They preferred to talk about abortion and Medicare for All.
