They realized that Trump’s emphasis on US jobs and bad trade deals were probably the issues that won the critical swing states, so they are copycatting and pretending that they also can bring about better jobs and wages.
Very true. They would not have a clue how to bring about better jobs and wages because the only way to do it is get government out of the way via lower taxes and less regulation. They are fundamentally opposed to the latter, so it is completely phony.
