They've lost that part of the Bronx, New York for a while. Mitt Romney and Donald Trump did horrible there, in some precincts. What can the GOP do to win Riverdale, Bronx in 2020?

Change literally everything about the party platform, but why would they want to?

It's the same answer for "What can the Dems do to win Lubbock, Texas in 2020"

Riverdale is wealthy. Won't the tax cuts appeal to Riverdale?

Manhattan is wealthy. Trump carried one single precinct by a margin of one vote.

You can't pay people to vote for the other party. That's basically what you're proposing.

I'm a centrist Independent. The GOP should be appealing to these areas.

Yes we all know you're a centrist. But what the GOP stand to gain by winning in the Bronx?

Yes, luckily we live in a world where there are things people ask of politicians besides "How much more money will I get?". (Granted, there are plenty who DO vote that way...)

Unless the Democrats turn into an expressly anti-Semitic party in the next 4 years (doubtful, especially with Chuck Schumer at the helm on the Senate side), I doubt the GOP can win Riverdale.  It has traditionally been home to a lot of non-Orthodox Jews who tend not to vote for the GOP.  Think of it as an extension of the Upper West Side for people who want more space.  Those from Riverdale who aren't Jewish tend to be pretty well off by Bronx standards.  Trump and the GOP didn't do very well with the NYC rich in 2016, either.

The NYC precincts that Trump won tended to be middle class, largely (but not exclusively) Italian-American neighborhoods on Staten Island, Queens and even the Country Club section of the Bronx, or heavily Orthodox or Russian Jewish areas, mainly in Brooklyn.  That's where the GOP can make further inroads in NYC, if they're not maxed out there already because the white ethnic population is generally declining in New York.
