So it'll be fascinating to watch if they will again dismiss the postmortem analysis that says they need to appeal to more women and minorities, and stick with trying to win with the crazy ass alt-right that demeans those groups, or whether they'll finally ditch that faction and focus on trying to embrace the future and not the past.

Yes, I agree with your points. I still maintain that the USA electoral system is in need of a fix. Whether it be an overhaul of the donations allowed through superpacs, better representation of the middle/lower classes, etc something needs to be done. I know many American citizens who plan to spoil their ballots because they are frustrated with their choices and how those choices came to be. The separation betweeen the elite rich and the middle/lower socioeconomic classes is widening and people feel contempt.
