Will they dare speak the truth like Walter Mondale did in 1984 when he promised to raise taxes if elected?

Wage stagnation is the best point of attack. Wages just haven't caught up with all the economic gains made."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Speaking of identity politics:
The race for Representative in my home district is really interesting. The Democratic candidate is a lesbian Native American former MMA fighter running in a very red state... and she's actually ahead in the polls."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

For example, The Miami Herald reported that employers are offering between $55,000-75,000 a year with full benefits and a pension for construction workers (well above the average) but still can not find enough people to do the jobs.
This is not an isolated occurrence. Chick-fil-A in Sacramento are offering employees wage increases that would boost their pay from $12-13/hr. to $17-18/hr. trying to attract quality workers.
Also the lowering of the corporate tax rate has resulted in a major stimulus to the economy with companies investing and expanding. The upshot of this is many of them aren't telling their employees they'll need to cut hours for a month or so during certain times of the year as we've seen for most of the last decade but rather asking who wants overtime.

To her credit, she's running a no-nonsense campaign primarily focused on health care/prescription drug costs. It's the media that's playing up all the other angles, understandably given how weird her background is. She actually beat one of Bernie Sanders' handpicked guys in the Democratic primary (Alexandria O was in town campaigning for him too).
I don't think she's going to win. The incumbent hasn't really run anything yet; that's not going to last."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.
