If the Republicans have to run on economic issues alone, they lose - pure and simple.

This was proven in the years from 1932 until 1968, when the only Republican winner of a Presidential election (twice) was the ultimate RINO - Dwight D. Eisenhower, who kept the 90% top income tax rate in place, allowed the Korean War to end in a draw, through his flunky (at least according to the right, anyway) Joseph Welch, destroyed Joe McCarthy, wouldn't lift a finger to help Hungary in 1956, and signed the Civil Rights Act of 1957, during which year he also federalized the Arkansas National Guard to enforce integration at Central High School in Little Rock.

It's just like a bee dies after it loses its stinger (by stinging a human being or animal) - which is why I'm rooting for the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Hell, while they're at it, I hope they overturn Obergefell v. Hodges as well - for the exact same reason.

Then the right is finished in this country - Trump or no Trump.

The right cares very little about norms.  It cares mightily about power.  Don't assume that popular opposition will stop them, if they get a real toehold.  The old saw about authoritarians is correct: one person, one vote, one time.
