You know how some sports teams screw up the beginning of their seasons, going 1-6 and have to win 8 of their last 9 games if they want to have a chance of winning the playoffs?
That’s a metaphor for the GOO and the dynamics between it, white voters and voters of color.

Trump did slightly better nationally with black and latino voters than he did in 2016. But the GOP still loses both by a lot. That’s the start of their season.
So now they need not just win the rest of the season with white voters. They need to win an unrealistic % of them.

If the GOP doesn’t win white voters by double digits it’s generally toast. And in highly diverse states, like Georgia, it better be a pretty high double digit number.
But even that’s a problem because a lot of white voters are put off by Trump. And the GOP’s whole vibe.

So the party painted itself into a corner. They did this entirely to themselves.
