I know most of you were not around in 1980 or 1984, but there really was such a thing as Reagan Democrats. No real W Democrats in 2000 or 2004.
I know you don't have the advantage of un-knowing our Reagan history.
But in 79-80 Reagan was outside of the GOP mainstream. GHW Bush was the insider pick. The Jeb Bush safe choice.
Reagan was considered an outsider, more of a populace candidate.
I think many of you are wrong on a Trump nomination. He will get more of the African-American vote than W, McCain or Romney got. He won't do great with the Latino vote, but he will have something of a Democrats for Trump, like the Reagan Democrats. Pick up 10-15 per cent of the black vote. Lose 10-15 of the Latino vote, but pick up 10-15 of the independents and 5-7 % of the Democrats. Trump is for sure the GOP best hope.
