Hmm. I think you have to go beyond Obama years & look at GOP racial politics going back to Goldwater.

I know what you're saying in terms of fertile ground but it doesn't uniquely explain Trump. The same party nominated McCain.

Yes. But GOP didn't choose Trump because he's a white nationalist. It chose Trump because he's the ultimate anti-Obama.
