    Lest we all forget, Trump took the well considered Romney post mortem, threw it in the trash, pissed on it, then gradually built a coalition of, checks notes… White women and men of color. For fucks sake.

      Are you shitting me? I know it was a small margin but women voted for Harris. Black people voted overwhelmingly for Harris. Yeah Trump got some black people to vote for him and Latinos shifted. You’re going to pin this disaster on white women and black men?

        That’s not the point of my argument. My point is that Republicans warned themselves they would lose MORE women and minorities if they didn’t move away from harsh immigration discussions and conservative social policies.

        And then Trump did the opposite and made gains with those voters.
