Political strategist David Plouffe details how regular voters can organize and help defeat President Trump in 2020 in his voters' playbook, "A Citizen's Guide to Beating Donald Trump," available now. On "Salon Talks," the former senior adviser to President Barack Obama and former Obama campaign manager breaks down the strengths and weaknesses of the Sanders and Biden campaigns. "It's pretty clear we don't have somebody who is so strong with every cohort that we need to maximize support with that we can sort of sit back and watch them do their magic."

He also looks back on how Obama's presidency shifted the political map. "For all the criticism of Obama was too timid, he tried to get everything he could done in those two years while we had that many Democrats. And a lot of Democrats paid for that with their seats," Plouffe said.
