      Dems got lucky that Trump was too lazy to follow through on most of this stuff and outsourced his policies to regular GOP.

      If the GOP had moderate economic policies they could, like the British Tories, dominate politics. That would be good for the country but bad for Dems.

          But if they had the above... they wouldn't be... the GOP?

          They'd be the Clinton Administration, which was in fact hugely popular.

          The GOP has economic policy? Other than reducing taxes for the excessively wealthy I mean.

          Dems took over the moderate Tory economics with the Clinton blair 3rd way. Left GOP with nowhere to go but insane

          Jeet. Tory party austerity has been an absolute disaster for the UK for the past ten years.

          Oh, I don't know. I think their social conservatism is a big drag on their electoral appeal as well. But it's all moot unless the gerrymandered electoral maps the GOP has installed in so many states can be fixed, because the polarization resulting drives 'primaries' extremism.
