Democrats have emerged with a plan to counter President Trump's well-received Tuesday speech to a joint session of Congress: make a big bet that Trump's policies will fail and that the nation will eventually reject him.
A day after Trump's big moment on Capitol Hill, Democrats made it clear they are looking to oppose Trump at every turn, and hope voters can start seeing the effects of Trump's agenda, no matter how effectively he is able to communicate with voters.
"It's not a question of one speech," Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., told the Washington Examiner after Trump's address, which political pundits declared the best of Trump's political career. "If Democrats speak out against him and a year and a half from now people don't think too highly of him, then that's good" for Democrats.
Nadler and other Democrats interviewed by the Examiner are banking on Trump's long and ambitious list of pledges failing to materialize — from a plan to repeal and replace Obamacare, to comprehensive tax reform and a major bill to refurbish the nation's infrastructure.
"He's making promises that aren't going to happen," Nadler said.
