Donald Trump's 2020 re-election strategy: Scaring white people with threats of violence
Trump's outlandish CPAC speech was a preview of his 2020 campaign: Vote for me, or it's baby-killing socialism ... (but it's still a bit weird at Salon..)
Tea leaves would be as good a prognostication; all I know fershure is: if'n the Democratic Party®© cannot coalesce around a strategy which accomplishes getting out all those alleged-D-voters who sat on hands last time, then: unless 45 meets Colt-.45, it's likely sayonara for the entire ... ....
(Lessee: in On the Beach them Oz folk threw a come-as-you-are road race; now the threat is 'The Banality of Evil' and it seems that vox populi Dumbth has made great strides since December 1959.) Flip coin?

How big a factor was the Never Hillary vote for Sanders? Pretty big. They made the difference in eight of the states he won, finds Silver. Without that protest vote, the entire narrative of Sanders as the rising voice of the party’s authentic base would never have taken hold. And that basic misreading of the data created the foundation for a flourishing socialist dream that the American white working class is poised to turn against neoliberalism if only presented with a pure and sharp enough critique.

The Sanders campaign has circulated a strategy memo proclaiming their candidate would compete with Trump not only in Michigan and Ohio but even in states like West Virginia, Kansas, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Montana. Sanders “is popular with traditional, working-class, industrial workers in those places,” asserts his adviser, Jeff Weaver. “Bernie Sanders,” raves Bhaskar Sunkara, “is the only one capable of reaching millions of working Americans with the message that politics can indeed improve their lives.”
Their evidence is the persistent support Sanders amassed during his struggle against Clinton. But there is something eerily familiar about the pattern of Sanders’s support in 2016. Nate Silver, diving into the numbers, finds that about a quarter of Sanders voters were what he calls “Never Hillary” voters. They leaned conservative, and many of them voted for Donald Trump in the general election.
