The message being sent to voters [by Trump] is this: The Republican Party is led by people who are profoundly uncomfortable with the changing (and inevitable) demographic nature of our nation.

Right, that's why Trump is got 31% of Hispanics and 25% of blacks in a recent general election matchup vs. Hillary. How many did Romney get? McCain?

It is worth trying to win over minorities and I applaud Trump's efforts, but the reality is in a general election he would get the same anemic %'s that Romney got. Sorry, but minorities are squarely in the Democrat camp as long as the freebies keep flowing.

For now, increasing our share of the white vote by 3-4% is probably a better short term electoral strategy.

No the problem is that the Republican Party is led by people who are totally fine with turning (more) of America into a combination of Mexico and Nigeria.
