Over the past 72 hours, Democratic candidates have provided new insight and clues into how they would govern if elected, and the ways they seek to defeat not only Trump, but the principles underlying Trumpism.
In speeches, statements and interviews over the past 72 hours, the Democrats running to replace Trump have -- in the most direct terms yet -- sought to confront the racial animus fueling his politics, while attacking the President over his pandering to white supremacists. It's a stark difference from one week ago when talk on the campaign trail was dominated by reaction to a contentious Democratic primary debate.
