After last night’s debate, here’s the hard truth: We're going to have to take Donald Trump down on the economy. 

 

That’s what I said last night, and I meant it. Every single day, Trump is crowing about the economy, and he's going to beat us unless we can take him on. It’s like the Clinton campaign in 1992 said over and over again: It’s the economy, stupid. 

 

That's the issue. It's not about who has the best health care plan. All the Democratic health care plans are a million times better than anything coming out of the Republican Party. The question is, who can go toe to toe with Mr. Trump and beat him? Because he's the real threat to the country — and our candidate must have the experience to take him down.
