A more sarcastic take on this: “We can jettison the white working class: we’ll win w/ the coalition of the ascendant alone. No prob.” Same ppl: “oh no. Bannon says college women are gone & aren’t coming back. Him accepting this truth is the death of the Republican Party. RIP.”https://twitter.com/SelimSeesYou/status/1024376371253063680 …

My point being: politics is trade-offs, coalition building, winning where you can get most bang for your buck. Instead of coloring inside the lines of the 2012 autopsy, Trump went Coulter/Sailer strategy & won w/ it. It was the only way to win. Paradigm shift/realignment ongoing.

How many easily recruitable young white men (witness the 23 point shift among that demo in last 2 years) do you lose trying to play footsie w/ strong independent college female? That’s the calculus. Is the gain worth the loss? Trump will decide (I say it isn’t werf it tbh).

It certainly wasn’t worth it among Hispanics. Trump said all the right things to get white men out in large numbers, was deebly insulting to Hispanics (rapists, Wall) & still got better numbers than Romney who played nice w/ them (remember the fake tan?) Lesson there I think.
