11. Every Dem should pick a local infrastructure project that needs doing

Thursday

and run an ad showing how it could be done with a mere fraction of the money needed for Trump's ballroom.

School sidewalk. Bridge repair and painting. New traffic lights. Show how long a $1 million dollar fund would support drainage and maintenance of local sports fields. Whatever. One local infrastructure project that isn't getting done because it's too expensive compared to Trump's Ballroom. A new fleet of disability-ready minivans to bring elderly people to activities. Trump's Ballroom. A new entrance ramp to the hospital from Elm Street. Trump's Ballroom. A fund to assist with septic tank cleaning and repair for rural homes and businesses. Trump's Ballroom.

Nonstop. Make it a debate point every time. Nonstop. Compare a needed infrastructure project to Trump's Ballroom.
