Now, the NYT article the WSJ points to, that is excellent:
It explains Trump’s rise. A very good article. Now I understand for the first time why rank and file Republicans are flocking to Trump.
I’ve always wondered how the Republican party coalition of the rich, the lower middle class whites, and the ultra religious could work. It sounds like Trump explains that: it doesn’t. The lower middle class whites feel alienated by the Republicans and are redefining the party right in front of our eyes.[/quote]
It might not work the way Republican party elites will like it to work, I will like to remind you since Obummer took office, Republican have won 14 Senate seats, 69 House seats, 12 governorships, and 910 state legislature seats. If this is a failed strategy for a political party, show me a successful strategy.
