Why Trump saved his liberal agenda items for 2018

Over the last week, the mood in conservative media has been jolly. The GOP passed their tax cut bill and made it out of 2017 without a goose egg in the major legislation column. Moreover, many of President Trump’s conservative skeptics have been posting story after story saying they’ve been pleasantly surprised by everything from the Supreme Court to a conservative agenda. Not every “Never Trumper†is on board, but many have acknowledged the President didn’t show his liberal colors in 2017.
2018 will be a different story.
Before I go into what those liberal agenda items are, we need to understand why he’ll do it. Some of them were campaign promises that he simply couldn’t get to in 2017. Others are moderate to liberal ideas that will foster bipartisan support. This is necessary in a midterm election year because it does two things for the President.
First, it gives him the Reaganesque allure that disarmed even the harshest Democrats in 1982. When things are accomplished through bipartisanship, everyone gets to take credit. The Democrats will say they got parts of their agenda passed despite being in the worst possible power situation. Republicans and the President will say they’re the party that crosses the aisle when America’s future is at stake.
