They need to move more in that direction. Trump has governed as a social conservative, but needs to be more populist on foreign policy and economic policy. Not saying move left, the GOP should be non-interventionist from a nationalist perspective, that logic will get the base on board with being more anti-war. On economics, supporting tax cuts for the middle class, lowering education costs, and moving to the center on healthcare would greatly increase appeal. These policies might not only appeal to the white working class, but also college whites and minority voters. Republicans need to expand their coalition while maintaining their core base. Those who suggest the GOP become a "fiscally conservative and socially liberal" party are out of touch with the Republican party and honestly the country as a whole.
