Maybe, just maybe, Trump will decide to win or lose on his terms and by his rules.
All this talk about "losing conservatives" is a specter. The vast majority of movement conservative were never going to vote for Trump and he knows that.
Trump is building a new coalition of people who are nationalists first. It's a populist coalition that "movement conservatives" can choose to participate in should they not defeat Trump.
But there's no doubt they have made their first priority Trump's defeat, just like nearly every other historical political coalition.
In order to win, Trump has to convert or defeat the "movement conservatives" and establishment Republicans. He will shoot to kill at both, and he will take deadly fire from both.
And the votes that are cast will decide who won.
“Trump is building a new coalition of people who are nationalists first.”
EXACTLY RIGHT!
