If Clinton Dems become party of establishment economics & war, GOP can—eventually—try groups-targeted populist strategy.

Nixon actually did that, of course. He had a strategy for courting white ethnics. Approach can be used for Asian, Larino groups too.

GOP's problem is that its free-market, Xtian right ideology is whiter than it realizes: to nonwhites, it's all just white advantage politics

This is why Rubio-style "outreach" is a joke. Slightly off-white guy fronts for fundamentally white econ/social agenda, as nonwhites see it.

Yes, some nonwhites agree with white Republicans that conservative econ & evangelical religion is colorblind. Some, but not many.

Clinton is a horse-trader among groups; socialist Bernie wasn't. But in office, most "horses" will be for elite. Lot of disappointed groups.

How long will it take GOP to get proficient at multiethnic horse-trading, instead of imagining upper-mid-class evangelicals are a majority?

Don't know how long it will take the GOP to get there, but look how far Trump's gone. Scrapped party's econ/religious rhetorical orthodoxy.

Imagine someone doing what Trump does, but not just for whites. That could be the GOP of the future.

Or imagine a Latino Trump. Not Rubio, not Cruz: a right-wing Latino who had Trump's lack of ideological or other restraint. That could sell.

I've often thought that if Trump had just gone after Muslims & not Latinos he could be in position to win this election.

But he's in a position to win now, with or without media acquiescence.

I think he has a shot but the odds aren't great. He's taken a beating lately, seems on the defensive.
