Notes -
I…wouldn’t bet on it.
I’ve written about how my 2012 self thought the GOP would handle Obama’s reelection. Could he have caused the Republicans to rethink policy? Maybe sideline the social conservatives in favor of the Tea Partiers?
When stressed, establishment Republicans lost ground to their upstart populist wing. What would that look like for Democrats? The blue-collar base is either hollowed out or firmly aboard the Trump Train. White-collar workers want the kind of safety net that makes free college look like a bargain. I don’t know what left-populists could do other than throw helicopter money.
