What are some ways Trump and the Republicans can win over less than leftist democrats.

One that I think of is hammer the open borders and contrast what that is costing with the limited money democrats make available for the treatment and care of veterans.

I would focus on the border and fentanyl coming over. Most people these days have some sort of connection to drug abuse/overdoses.

ETA: Focusing on social issues like Gender dysphoria is not going to win over moderate democrats.

1) The economy. Only the most liberal Democrats are happy with this economy

2) The border

3) Contrasting the normalcy of the right versus the absolute lunacy of the far-left (trans, pro-terrorist, etc.)

There’s no such thing as a moderate Democrat. Voting Democrat should be punishable by death as a penalty for treason against the United States.

Convince them to stay home. You aren’t getting them to vote Trump

Talk about

1. Economy
2. Border

Do not talk about

1. Social Issues
2. Identity Politics

Im sure voters whose understand little to nothing about progressive Dems or any issues might switch to supporting Trump. The progressive vs conservative ideas and policies are so polar opposite I doubt there will be enough people switching votes to matter.

Anyone who's willing to vote for Biden/Harris will not vote for Trump, and vice versa.

Probably a decent strategy.

I personally know a woman whose daughter died of fentanyl poisoning last year, she has been a staunch democrat all of her adult life, not sure what her political leanings are today.

This is the correct answer. Definitely don't waste time trying to "win over" new voters. MAGA has enough real members to win this.

Kamala was a dirty prosecutor.

Anyone without TDS should consider that a disqualifier.

Gotta be careful with inflation, considering all of Trump's big spending (both past and in Agenda 47). Same with the deficit/debt issues.

JD Vance is a great speaker. Let him go after Kamala and Tim and Trump recount all the good things he did on his first term and compare them to how bad Kamala/Joe did now. Always refer to things now as Kamala's administration, not just Joe's.

It is amazing how so many will not vote for policy and what is best for their own families because of the hate for Trump and the taking everything as gospel from the MSM.

I think there are lots of blue collar union baw type democrats that will 100% flip due to retarded gender nonsense. Thats exactly the thing that someone who relies on common sense to navigate the world would recoil against.

And you run the risk of losing more traditional GOP types and moderate DEMs who are professionals than you gain with union baws.

Do you think present fence sitters connect those dots? I don't. Right or wrong, the party in power owns that stuff.

If they run on it, there will be easy responses to thwart it.

I included Agenda 47, though.
