During the Three Kingdom period of Chinese history, the Warlord of the North (Cao Cao) was defeated by the coalition of the South and West (two had to combine just to overpower the North) at the Battle of Red Cliffs. When asked by advisers on what to do next, Cao Cao realize he cannot defeat the enemy coalition so he adopted the decade strategy. He waited and rebuilt. He knew that the South and West coalition cannot remain forever without rivalry and fighting breaking out. The Dems have two brittle coalitions. Jews and Arabs. Arab Americans hate the Jewish Americans like Chinese hate Japanese. Right now the Arab immigrant/US citizen population is about 3 percent, equal to the American Jewish population. Arab Americans are not as well organized as the Jews, but are making strives in numbers of voters. The other brittle coalition is Blacks and Immigrant Hispanics. Hispanic immigrants do not like blacks, because in their view blacks are lazy. Fights break out everyday in mix schools composed of blacks and hispanics. Unlike blacks, hispanics do open businesses in their communities, and move up the economic ladder. Blacks will resent Hispanic success because it reminds them that the race excuse is invalid and black lack of progress is due to their inadequacies, not racial barriers. Hispanic dominated communities literally become Little Latin America with little or no accommodation for blacks. It is a matter of time they will fight. Question is who will the Dems back? Question is who will the GOP attempt to peel away from the Dems to GOP? The GOP at minimum needs to stay united, survive the bleak period and exploit the Dems fissures. GOP did this in the 1990’s by winning the Southern whites who due to the Civil War vowed to never vote GOP until the 1990’s when the Dems supported social issues that Southern Whites can no longer stomach.
He was not electable.
