I don’t think you’re fair or doing Trump any favors in associating his campaign with a “Southern Strategy”.
I hear you, it does come across with a mild racial undertone, but then trying to dance around it winds up with our side getting defeated, or nearly defeated, as in every presidential election since 1988 (just barely winning 2000 and 2004). I could have put in third person with words such as “it appears”...oh well.
But the key is not what I think, because who am I? The key is whether the Republicans have ENOUGH BRAINS to try to meet the needs of their base voters, and are capable of doing so even with the media calling them racist the entire way through - as will be played against Trump, and probably very soon (heck, we’re already called xenophobic for wanting border security).
I would simply like the see the GOP actually try to win, rather than tiptoe around ‘divisive issues’, as defined by the media.
Trump hasn’t called it such but the media does play with words.
