      Douthat: "voters supporting [Trump] despite his demagoguery." Shouldn't "despite" be "because of"?http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/03/opinion/sunday/confessions-of-a-columnist.html?_r=0 …

      Douthat's confession is sincerely done so I'm tempted to say "40 Hail Marys & sin no more." But....

      But line about "voters supporting [Trump] despite his demagoguery" speaks to what is still missing in analysis: sense of revanchist GOP base

      Trump is a con artist who succeeds by telling people what they want to hear. What the GOP wants to hear is George Wallace style racism.

      So, not to be too priestly, next step in Douthat's penitence is to think about GOP base & history of appeals to racism since 1964 pivot.

      To the extent that I haven't underestimated Trump,it's because I listened to @yeselson's convincing analysis of GOP as revanchist party.

      If Trump gets nomination or comes close, Douthat/Frum/Kristol/Brooks etc will have to face fact that this is not their party any more.

          @R_Ephemeral @HeerJeet if Trump wins, the GOP will be torn apart and that the party as Douthat et al no longer exists will be obvious to all

          @HeerJeet Trump's success so far should have forced that acknowledgment already. A loss wouldn't really make what's happened less profound.
