The Dems are going to try and make whether or not a Republican supported Donald Trump a litmus test for every election for a generation. Trump is going to be the biggest gift to the Dems since the Repubs opposed civil rights.
I honestly think the Republican Party is going to pretend that Trump didn't even exist after this is over. You already saw it with Mike Pence openly disagreeing with him.

The problem with that is that Trump probably won't let them. :mjlol:

I mean they can keep Dubya out of the spotlight, but Trump? If there's anything he's good at it's getting attention and staying in the public eye.

This and also their voters won't let them forget Trump.

Look at this.

PA was Trump's firewall and he is done in PA. It's A wrap. He thought he could count on western PA deplorables but their numbers are too small. :pachaha:

Going forward, GOP will continue to lose the presidency until they throw the deplorables to the bushes.

They only reason they are holding on to any semblance on national power is due to gerrymendering. After the 2020 election, it's going to be a wrap for the current incarnation of the GOP.

Angry white guys

True, the myth of poor white people being the primary backers of Trump has pretty much been destroyed. It is racial animus more than anything.

The press has gotten extremely comfortable with describing a Trump electorate that simply doesn’t exist. Cottle describes his supporters as “white voters living on the edges of the economy.” This is, in nearly every particular, wrong.

There is absolutely no evidence that Trump’s supporters, either in the primary or the general election, are disproportionately poor or working class. Exit polling from the primaries found that Trump voters made about as much as Ted Cruz voters, and significantly more than supporters of either Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. Trump voters, FiveThirtyEight's Nate Silver found, had a median household income of $72,000, a fair bit higher than the $62,000 median household income for non-Hispanic whites in America.

A major study from Gallup's Jonathan Rothwell confirmed this. Trump support was correlated with higher, not lower, income, both among the population as a whole and among white people. Trump supporters were less likely to be unemployed or to have dropped out of the labor force. Areas with more manufacturing, or higher exposure to imports from China, were less likely to think favorably of Trump.

This shouldn’t be surprising. Lower-income whites are always likelier to support Democrats than other whites. It’d be very odd if Trump singlehandedly reversed that longstanding trend in American public opinion. But it suggests that the image of Trump supporters as whites on the economic margins, being failed by the elites in Washington and New York, is wrong.

So what is driving Trump supporters? In the general election, the story is pretty simple: What’s driving support for Trump is that he is the Republican nominee, a little fewer than half of voters always vote for Republicans, and Trump is getting most of those voters.

In the primary, though, the story was, as my colleague Zack Beauchamp has explained at length, almost entirely about racial resentment. There’s a wide array of data to back this up.

UCLA's Michael Tesler has found that support for Trump in the primaries strongly correlated with respondents' racial resentment, as measured by survey data. Similarly, Republican voters with the lowest opinions of Muslims were the most likely to vote for Trump, and voters who strongly support mass deportation of undocumented immigrants were likelier to support him in the primaries too.

In April, when the Pew Research Center asked Republicans for their views on Trump, and their opinions on the US becoming majority nonwhite by 2050, they found that Republicans who thought a majority nonwhite population would be "bad for the country" had overwhelmingly favorable views of Trump. Those who thought it was a positive or neutral development were evenly split on Trump.

By contrast, John McCain in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012 got less primary support from voters with high racial resentment and anti-immigration scores than they did from less racially resentful or anti-immigrant voters. Those two primaries were lost by the white nationalist wing of the Republican Party at a time when that wing was gaining in number. AsNew America's Lee Drutman has found, Republicans’ views of blacks and Latinos plummeted during the Obama years
