Calling the political landscape unfavorable for “the more traditional, elite part of the party,” Pat McCrory, the former Republican governor of North Carolina, suggested that the GOP has become a more blue-collar-oriented party under Trump, with his trade policies and “America First” messaging. And he suspects that will last.
“I think you’re going to have more populist candidates in the future, and the trick’s going to be getting the populist candidate that also can appeal to the suburban voter, which we can’t lose,” he said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if the Republicans are going to find some future, conservative AOCs.”

Is that where we're at in American politics? Trump went in destroying the hegemony of the Democratic Party and wound up destroying the Republican Party instead. Can Biden's middle-of-the-road approach succeed in retaining the support of the American people? Is the Northern USA breaking away from the Southern USA all over again? The biggest actor in American politics has clearly been 'Coronavirus/Covid-19' and looks poised to remain that way throughout 2020.
