      Fundamental flaw in political analysis from the hardcore anti-Trumpites: They don't seem to recognize that Trump agenda has basically been co-opted by the establishment. Best way to view GOP in Trump era as "coalition government" of establishment/populists...

      True. But your analyses underplays how badly the association with Trump will taint/toxify that agenda. As @TheRickWilson puts it do eloquently, everything he touches ... dies.

      not exactly, tho. his incompetence makes things difficult for Cong Rs, but he uniquely has connection with the base. And despite the chaos, Trump & Rs have gotten a major tax bill and many judges nominated (incl. Gorsuch). Add deregulation to the list, and it's not minor.

      strongly disagree. demographics/politics in Cali much much different than the rest of the country. as we've seen with Trump experience, parties evolve for political survival. it's why Rs becoming more pro-Trump and why losing would force them to change course.

      Post Hoover, it took the GOP decades to recover. But Reagan was elected just 6 yrs after Watergate. Things move quicker today. I think Josh has a point. The GOP might be able to dump Trump and re-brand quicker than we imagine.

      People forget how incredibly toxic GOP was in 2008. And yet party rebounded in 2010.

      The incredible amt of self-delusion on this thread is breath-taking. Is not the New South + TX + FL becoming a post-Pete Wilson California? Plus, this rapidity argument assumes cohorts don't remember Trump? Many, esp fast-growing minorities, will remember for a generation to come

      I wrote a whole book warning Republicans to avoid Trumpian politics—partially based on what you’re saying. There’s no doubt there will be a cost. My point is simply that the gop won’t be permanently locked into a Trumpian brand if they abandon him.

          But what is likelihood of GOP abandoning him? In a political world where the political vector is increasingly isolationism vs. inclusion, at some point the GOP has no luxury of choosing. Its own voters, & an inclusion-oriented Democratic party, wont allow them other alternatives

          However, the Democratic party won't be able to be "inclusion-oriented" if it continues to adopt a hard-leftist line in the culture war. Indeed, a lack of cultural inclusiveness helped pull down HRC.

          A pro-choice Democrat just won Alabama! The cultural war is over-stated. Also, you mistake inclusion only as "cultural" inclusion. What about economic inclusion? Perfect example: #Farmers4NAFTA. Our farmers are the biggest globalists of all -- Dems r moving towards pro-free trade

          It's doubtful that most D's will be running against candidates w/as much baggage as Roy Moore. And there's an argument that Democratic support for immigration maximalism undermines economic inclusion by lowering wages for working class and recent immigrants.

          Or how about possibility that a Southern Democrat can now win on backs of suburban/minority voters? The cultural war is not a war; it's a rout. If it's an argument btw perils of immigration maximalism & access to export markets, the farmers will choose export markets full stop.
