Robby Mook and Jeff Weaver say in the memo that the tax effort is "already resoundingly unpopular across just about every demographic," including the rural and suburban voters who flocked to Trump last year and the Democratic base voters who sat out the election. That has given Democrats a way to avoid having to decide which of those groups to pour money and organizing efforts into winning back in the 2018 midterm elections, they write. "It is quite a feat for Republicans to have designed a bill that could alienate Obama-Trump voters, Romney-Clinton voters and base Democrats all at the same time, but the tax plan achieves exactly this trifecta," Mook and Weaver write in the memo. "Should the legislation reach President Trump's desk, the issue has the potential to doom Republican lawmakers who vote for it. If Democrats properly seize this issue, they can potentially win over most every swath of the electorate critical to next year's midterm elections."
