Donald Trump and Paul Ryan are both engaged in pushing forward an agenda that has proven to be spectacularly wrong. Trump's elevation of economic crank Larry Kudlow is a great example of this, as Chait catalogs.
This is why, at every opportunity, Democrats have to tie Trump with chains to the GOP. Their policies are bad. They will make things bad. Because they lack the restraints that even Dubya operated under, I expect they will make things bad more quickly than he did.
If that happens, Digby's Law will be invoked: conservatism never fails, it can only be failed. As soon as Trump drives the economy into the ditch and starts a few unnecessary wars and crisis, it will be pointed out that he was really a Democrat all along.
Democrats can't let that happen. This is the same crap the right has been shoveling onto us for decades. It is destroying the economic fabric of our country.
They have to own it.
