GOP Coalition Concerns

Dana Blankenhorn wrote an interesting article about the GOP candidates' coalition-raising problems. Not being a Republican, and not really understanding the politics on that side, I've been looking for something like that.

Of course, being a Republican, he fails to understand the D side in his post. He says we'll work for anybody. No. What IS true is that we have one and a half front-runners who have constructed coalitions properly. We'd come together and work for Hillary or Obama.

This is important because big coalitions are what politicians must construct to win. It's what politics is all about. If you see or hear from a politician, he's trying to add you to his coalition. The biggest coalition on election day generally wins.
