Most autopsies of GOP's 2012 electoral losses dictated that they openly appeal to Latino voters. The base rejected this plan and eventually rallied behind Trump, who led the party to victory in 2016 with immigration policy no pundit would've predicted in 2013.
The pundits now insist that the Democrats, after suffering electoral setbacks, appeal to the WWC rather than their actual base. They even point to Dem versions of Rubio (white, midwestern candidates vs young hispanic) as the "great white hope" of 2020.
Why are Democrats listening to these people, given how Republicans have succeeded in the past few years.
