Seriously, the more I think about this, the more annoyed it makes me.
Keep on thinking Trump won a LANDSLIDE YUGE VICTORY! All you are doing is setting yourself for a major defeat in the future. Trump won with numbers closer to Bush than Reagan. Keep that in mind. Reagan laid out a passionate case for conservatism. Trump started out as a NY liberal and edged his way to more conservative views but is willing to negotiate just about anything.
If you want conservatism to gain the kind of support it did during the Reagan years, you have to recognize that the approach Trump is taking - while a winning strategy - is NOT a landslide strategy. I suppose you can be content with that, but I want to give you one more set of numbers to chew on:
CA
Clinton 61.5%
Trump 33.2%
- Clinton +28.3%
TX
Trump 52.6%
Clinton 43.4%
- Trump +9.2%
Pay close attention. Liberal bastions are actual bastions. The GOP is holding on to TX by a mere 2.6% over majority. The spread in CA is 3x that in TX.
Ask yourself how much harder it would be to shift CA to red than TX to blue. Then take a look at some other big electoral states that Trump relied on. Close, close, close. What happens to conservatism if TX ever becomes a swing state?
This is not a landslide and anyone who rests on their laurels thinking it is a simply a fool who is going to get crushed as the dems continue to exploit changing demographics in this country.
