Ah, racist thought police won't let you use a word that has a meaning that's a slur. That's fun.

Agreed about Trump being a wild card and this being among his biggest weaknesses. If he presented cohesive plans for even a medium term policy horizon (10 years?) that aligned with conservative interests, he'd probably be able to keep a lot of their support.

I imagine it's tough to spend your whole career working to implement conservative policies that are centrist enough that the down-ballot races aren't negatively affected and run headlong into Trump, whose actions have created so many antis that Congressional races are being impacted and weakening the party more broadly.
