29. A pivot to the center would only work if there weren't many videos of Trump denigrating immigrants, women, and out right lying.

30. Trump's problem is he's too memorable, too colorful, to pivot. Once you hear his Mexican rapists comments you don't forget it.

31. To put Trump's general elections prospect another way, think about difference between South Carolina GOP electorate & USA population

32. Trump won in South Carolina. State is 63% white. But GOP electorate was 96% white. So electorate wildly unrepresentative

33. Because South Carolina GOP electorate is 96% white, there was no incentive for rival candidates to challenge Trump on racism.

34. In general election, Trump will not face an electorate that is 96% white. USA is 62% white, electorate will be maybe 70% white.

35. So all the things that allowed Trump to win a plurality of a very white electorate will suddenly turn off 30% voters (at minimum).

36. Of course, saying he turns off 30% doesn't factor in many whites who are anti-racists who will also be turned off.

37. Trump speaks for a plurality of the GOP, but not America as a whole. He will never be president.
