I have not read Ann Coulter’s book, but agree with her theory on principle, ie to appeal to white conservatives. However, does she account for demographic changes since Reagan? If she does, does she illustrate that the number of white conservatives will still overcome the changed demographics? I assume the answer is simply a matter of voter turnout.
Exactly, it’s all about GOTV ground game and retail politics.
It’s much easier to get someone who agrees with you to vote, even if they are a new voter who has never voted before, than it is to convince a fence-sitter to swing your way.
Thats what the 2012 Obama campaign was all about. They used data mining to identify people who were Liberals and therefore natural Obama voters, but weren’t regular voters. Then got them to vote.
