Podhoretz: ‘Horrifying’ Trump Is Turning the GOP into an ‘Almost Explicitly the White Party’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 
SCARBOROUGH: "So John, quick quiz for you. Do you know who else won a Florida primary? Democratic primary?"
PODHORETZ: "Who else? When?"
SCARBOROUGH: "Can you name somebody else? Just to see if it translates — George Wallace won a Florida primary on the democratic side."
PODHORETZ: "What did he win, 13 states?"
SCARBOROUGH: "13 states. So it doesn’t always translate."
PODHORETZ: "So you do have the history, obviously, trump, if he wins as the candidate of a major political party, so he’s not an independent winning 13 states. But you could see, in some odd way, the Wallace coalition being what trump gets in November. I mean, you know, it’s kind of eerily similar. I mean, obviously, it’s almost 50 years later.

SCARBOROUGH: "But it’s moving that direction. It’s especially moved that direction over the last three weeks." 
PODHORETZ: "And I think you also see that one of the horrifying possibilities that is represented by this election with trump at the head of the ticket is a division of the two parties into the Republican party becoming almost explicitly the white party and the Democratic Party becoming the minority party with liberal — with very upscale liberal whites in it. You could have a — for the first time in American history, a practical division where rather than having ethnic, religious, and, you know, and racial coalitions, you would have a kind of sorting that does not seem racial coalitions, you would have a kind of sorting that does not seem like the sort of thing one would have expected after 2008."
