    “The question is not just whether it will work, but whether Republicans—including the former president himself—will have the discipline to keep the racial subtext of their new strategy from becoming the text.”

    Narrator: “They won’t.”

      yeah, really not sure this is the winning strategy they think it is - that was from a time long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away.

      they are mobilizing their insane against a now increasingly energized “broader coalition”. I have small hope again.

      I don’t follow the right wing grifter blog sphere at all, but I’ve already seen at least a half dozen Ben Shapiro types already call her a DEI hire. They will not be able to help themselves, because racism is one of the core pillars of the modern Republican mindset.

        There’s a certain sweet irony in the “token DEI hire” being the overwhelming and enthusiastic consensus pick to take over the campaign. Not that I expect Republican commentators to make the connection, but at least I can enjoy it.
