Right but that is by Trumptards...
Trumptards just proved they alone cannot win you an election, you need to appeal to independents and moderates...
So the GOP needs to make a choice, is it the party of Trump or is it the party of Lincoln...The party of Lincoln runs Nikki Haley and has a chance of winning...The party of Trump loses by 300+ electoral votes and watches the country go more blue...
GOP is run by a bunch of demonic selfish old heathens but they're not stupid...They know they have to pivot away from Trump and that will cost them a portion of their base but the alternative is not any better...Its not like Trumptards are going to vote against you anyways but they can't lose all the useful idiots...Its a game of margins...
Another great post. Trump had this perfect blend of being able to tap into the GOP's base while also bringing new people into the fold,
and also flipping some people from various ends of the political spectrum. I've never seen a political figure that was such an obvious con-man while also having at least a little bit of support from so many different areas on the political roadmap. It was truly bizarre.
Also, Trump's base was weirder and more varied than mainstream media has made it out to be. Yes, all the white male racists vote for Trump. But since he's basically a cult leader, he does have more that just white racists in his stable. People shouldn't forget that he gained traction with every demographic except for white males in the 2020 election.
I say all that to say...I have a hard time seeing how the GOP will produce any candidate that can hold the base whole bringing new people into the fold, and even flipping some voters from other parties and demographics.
The unfortunate flip side to this problem is that the left is also very fragmented, but that's not this thread topic. The GNC and the Democrats have bases that aren't fully on board with them nor are united amongst each other.
