      Counterpoint: maybe his political instincts about how crucial they are to his coalition are correct.https://twitter.com/byrdinator/status/896561546473689088 …

      A question from a senior Republican aide just now: "What idiot in [Trump's] admin is telling him to worry about the white supremacist vote?"

      Yeah, I trust Trump's instincts on this more than GOP professional pols. Trump's proven again and again he knows how base thinks.

          but "the base" isn't enough, he has to hold all the college suburban whites that stuck around (more than pre-Eday polling suggested)

          That assumes a) he's looking for the kind of coalition required in a democracy, as opposed to the one that suffices under a different model.

          Both your responses seem to assume there's some calculation here. The simpler explanation: this is who Trump is.

          It's evolution in action. He has the loyalty of the white supremacists for a pretty simple reason. As you say, it's not calculation.

          Disagree as Trump's base is hyper-malleable to whatever he believes at any given moment. Doesnt matter if its inconsistent with a worldview

          Also, crazy idea, white supremacy could just be what Trump actually, sincerely believes. 🤔

          agree. it takes strong forces (e.g. nativism) to cause people to vote against their own economic interests. non-racist Trump would've lost.

          In preparation for his run he had staff incessantly listen to conservative small market talk radio. He knows his base alright.
