[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are many components to the Trump coalition- most importantly of ALL the non-voters who did not come out for Hillary.
But in the mix of the Trump voters I see two groups that are in direct opposition to each other:

1) The anti-goverment extremists--&gt; these are those who would have voted for Cruz and would never never ever vote Democratic

2) the pro-goverment as long as it benefits ME types. --&gt; these are for example the votes that hate Obamacare because the Medicaid expansion was not big enough and did not cover them. They are there and they are many. These are also those who liked Bernie Sanders.

[b]You can entice 1 and 2 at the same time during the campaign, but I think you can't really please them both while governing.[/b][/quote]
I don't know, this coalition has been voting GOP for a while now.  I think it's why the Congressional Republican strategy has been obstruct and do nothing while blaming all ills on Obama.  It's harder to do when the POTUS is also Republican, because it doesn't leave an obvious scapegoat.  But I have confidence that they will find a way to make all ills the fault of Pelosi, Schumer, and of course Hillary Clinton.  It's truly mind-blowing that this works, but it so clearly does.[/quote]
