Veterans are not a monolith. Yes, a large portion of vets vote GOP based on a false perception that the GOP is more supportive of the military and veterans. But that's not everyone. Many, MANY vets are Democrats. I'm married to one & know quite a lot of others in my family.

I'd go with billionaires & corporations first, American families last. Hit them where they live - that romantic vision of the proper American family - mom, dad, 2 kids, a dog & an SUV (replacing the previously required minivan full of soccer mom & kids)
