The future for the GOP is clearly a multiracial working class coalition, so I voted #2 and #4. This is easier said than done, though, and will eventually entail them dropping both their hard right economic positions and racial dog-whistling, which will be hard for many in the party to do.
The electoral results of the past few years have been glorious for this. It's so exciting to see all the fiscal conservatives who told the other parts of the right to shut up for the sake of electability getting told that they are the ones who need to tone it down.
When has Econ Conservatives really ran the party when they take the WH other than maybe the Reagan years. Bush was clearly more Neo-Con/Socially Conservative than he was Economically Conservative and that isnt really close. Heck on Economics Bush was more moderate than Trump has been and its really not even close in that regard .
Your fantasy that the Reagan years were economically conservative have always been an endless fantasy of yours.
Economically they were conservative, in that the GOP looked to shaft the poor and declare open season on the most vulnerable in society. Fiscally they were not, with the huge deficits and all.
Yes, you are correct, but OSR is enamored with the fiscal fantasy
