Trump: GOP will become "workers' party"

[Angrie]

A lot of people are angry that they haven't had a real wage increase in 18 years, but that doesn't mean that they will turn to Trump as the solution.

Many will - disproportionately white men. Women and minorities will not.

What could (in theory) happen is that Trump could turn the GOP into a party of working class white males. And then after he loses in a landslide, someone else might come along and turn down the sexism, nativism, and racism, and broaden it into a "worker's party." That would be the interesting scenario. The Republicans could be competitive as an economically liberal, socially moderate-to-slightly-right party, against the Democrats as a socially liberal, economically moderate-to-slightly-right party.

But it's not going to happen just with Trump.

My wife has had a good report; the surgeon believes that they have removed all the cancer, and she will be going for radiation treatment as precautionary.  (She is now in the category of "cancer survivor" and all that implies.)

Good news!
