“The post-election data show the Republicans’ economic message was seen positively by a large majority of voters, more positively than the Democrats’ message. Republicans can take heart that their economic policies not only seem to be working; but when voters understood what was in the tax bill, they favored Republicans by a comfortable margin. The problem was only 32 percent of this year’s voters knew about the key provision in this important legislation or how it would positively impact them,” said the analysis.

And Winston is encouraging the GOP to return to bread-and-butter issues in 2020. “Republicans should refocus on the economy, their economic record, and solutions to household issues as first steps toward rebuilding their majority coalition for 2020,” he said.

Braun and the expanded caucus of business leaders in the Senate and House are itching to do that.

“It is our mistake as a party and it’s our mistake as business owners and entrepreneurs, if we don’t keep that in the limelight,” said the newly minted senator.

Braun said that, in 2020, the focus will be even more scattered, since there will be lots of attention on Democrats running against Trump. And, he added, the economy might not be as strong as it is today.

“We’ve got to get it right in the next two years," he said.

What’s more, he said that more Republicans have to return to the economic message that has worked for the GOP since former President Ronald Reagan’s days.

“Somewhere along the line there have to be other disciples picking it up, and I intend to be one of them to the extent that I can get them to listen,” he said.

?????Are you saying that because we are arguing over a border, the rest of Trump’s agenda is pointless and should be conducted?
