I give you your new GOP—the White Christian Party. Reagan and even Bush Sr. wouldn’t recognize what it’s become.

This religious populism will pay dividends in the short run. But it’s a long term loser because it’s tied to alienating Hispanics, blacks, Muslims and gays, groups that are all growing. As opposed to the white base, which is shrinking. Numbers don’t lie—there’s an expiration date on this stuff in the not too distant future.
