hence the, usual suspects can trust it. The game plan is NOT working kids. "" DAVID BROOKS, NEW YORK TIMES: Yes, I mean, there are now — well, first, there's reason for worry, because if the election were held today, in my view, Donald Trump would be elected president. So that's reason for Democrats to worry.

And in my conversation with Democrats around the country, I have noticed there are now 85 million political consultants. Every Democrat I know has got some words of advice on how Biden can do a lot better. And I happen to agree with the Obama people. And, by the way, the Biden people hate it when the Obama people judge them.

And I do think Axelrod and Obama are essentially correct that, of course, he had to do a January 6 speech. Of course, going to Mother Emanuel Church was important. But he does have to show how I'm going to make your life better.

And the core reason Donald Trump is doing OK is a lot of Americans think their life was better under him than under Biden. And so they're — in my view, he has to look at the Reagan campaign in 1980, an old guy who said, no, here's what I'm going to do for you. And he has to have law and order. Donald Trump is an agent of chaos, a lawbreaker.

For a Democrat to be a law and order — a persuasive law and order candidate at a time of global chaos, that would be a good thing. And then I think he really has to somehow get into the working class. You can't give away that many votes, especially among the Hispanic working class.

So I think he has to champion business, small business, and show he's for enterprise and aspiration. And these are not the usual Democratic themes, but I think he really needs to do it to sort of claw back some of that working class.""
