Here's what's interesting- the GOP didn't change their way of thinking after 2008 and 2012, in fact they doubled down on it. They still ended up winning this year.

I'd say Trump was a big change from what Romney and McCain were selling.
On trade for sure, but the message sent to Republicans in 2012 was that they needed to attract minority support to win. Instead they focused on driving up white turnout and flipping the remaining WWC that still voted Democratic.

Actually Trump did a tiny bit better than Romney did with Minorities.
Emphasis on tiny. If the white vote had stayed the same the increased minority support was nowhere enough to win.
