It was the latest step in a coordinated effort by President Donald Trump and his allies to drive up enthusiasm among the GOP base by sowing fears about the policies pushed by Democrats. 'The moment America becomes a socialist country is the moment America ceases to be America,' Pence told
WASHINGTON -- As the White House gears up for the 2020 campaign, it's pressing the case that Democrats are rallying behind what it's calling the policies of"socialism."
"The moment America becomes a socialist country is the moment America ceases to be America," Pence told the crowd of conservative activists. The health care and climate proposals have become litmus tests in the race for the Democratic nomination, with many liberals embracing the ideas even as some pragmatists raise questions about cost and feasibility.
The campaign also believes that the attacks will activate Trump's base, which may have lost some motivation because the president has run into congressional opposition as he tries to fulfill his U.S.-Mexico border wall promise.
