Is the Republican "Southern Strategy" going down in flames? [View all]

It might be, during this election cycle. But I believe that's due to Trump's hatred of everything on planet Earth other than himself, and his ability to turn off any halfway sentient human being.

So what happens if/when he loses big?

I don't believe the Republicans are about to throw away their "Southern Strategy." It's worked very well for them over the past four plus decades. And the voters that it attracts, (the ignorant, the bigots, the haters, the "Southern Pride" people, and so many others), will still buy the snake oil.

The Republicans haven't much to offer America other than "tax cuts for the rich," and "hatred for the poor and the 'Other'." i don't know if they are capable of coming up with anything positive or noble.

But that's just my opinion. What do you think? Is the "Southern Strategy" on the way out?
