Rather than merely run against Trump, offer "An Even Better Deal"

From the article:

At the 1932 Democratic National Convention, Franklin D. Roosevelt declared, “Never before in modern history have the essential differences between the two major American parties stood out in such striking contrast as they do today.” Arguing that Republicans had offered “no path for the people below to climb back to places of security and of safety in our American life,” he called for a “new deal” to “restore America to its own people.”

The Democrats cannot run against Trump, they must run for a better deal.

"Even better" implies the original deal was good, which it was not, it was a bald-faced lie.
