In 2000, Steve Sailer wrote that the path forward for Republicans was not appealing to minorities but maximizing the white vote. That’s the strategy Trump ran on.<\/p>\n
I just did a Google news search on “Steve Sailer” and there are few mentions of him this month. I don’t think the guy has even been profiled by the MSM. He’s the most important thinker nobody has heard of.<\/p>\n
Peter Brimelow writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n On Election Day, we carried my Let Us Now Praise Famous Trumps<\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n Donald J. Trump is infinitely better<\/a> than all previous GOP nominees on VDARE.com\u2019s key issue of immigration, in the sense that one is infinitely more than zero (I think<\/a> that\u2019s right\u2014have to check the details with John Derbyshire<\/a>). Nevertheless, Trump has frequently driven us crazy by forgetting to use the issue, not exploiting it enough<\/a>, not remembering the details , not exploring build-outs like<\/a> the deeply unpopular birthright citizenship, the need for Official English<\/a>, etc. etc.<\/p>\n But all of that fades in the face of of his extraordinary unflinching will\u2013in defiance of literally the entire world, including an illegal alien would-be assassin<\/a> promptly dispatched down the Main Stream Media Memory Hole\u2014and the breathtaking relentless fury <\/a>of his closing campaign.<\/p>\n To adapt sprint coach Sam Mussabini\u2019s line<\/a> to come-from-behind winner Eric Liddell in the old movie Chariots Of Fire:<\/em><\/a> It\u2019s not the prettiest race we\u2019ve ever seen, Mr. Trump\u2014but certainly the bravest.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n That will, that fury, and that bravery, has now been rewarded by the greatest upset<\/a> in American political history.<\/p>\n An upset, however, that I must say has been long presaged here on VDARE.com<\/a>. It\u2019s 16\u2014that\u2019s s-i-x-t-e-e-n\u2014years (<\/em>that\u2019s YEARS) since Steve Sailer <\/a>wrote for us GOP Future Depends on Winning Larger Share of the White Vote<\/em><\/a>, which flew directly in the face of Karl Rove dogma<\/a> and argued that inreach to the GOP\u2019s white base was, as a matter of simple arithmetic, more important than outreach to Democrat-dependent minorities.<\/p>\n I was immediately interested because it extended the static analysis of immigration-driven impeding GOP doom<\/a> that Ed Rubenstein<\/a> and I had developed in our 1997 National Review<\/em> story cover <\/a>by adding the dynamic dimension\u2014that the GOP could counter demographic drift by increasing its share of the white vote.<\/p>\n Absurdly, Steve\u2019s making this simple arithmetic point caused us to be arbitrarily banned<\/a> from the cuckservative<\/a> site Free Republic, which back then was a big deal. Nevertheless, Steve continued exploring the issue , which we named the Sailer Strategy<\/a>, posting \u201cSlippery Six\u201d Mid-West States Doom Romney\u2014Because Of Low White Share <\/em><\/a>after the Romney Rout in 2012. <\/em>He there outlined exactly the strategy that has brought Trump to victory.<\/p>\n This is why we\u2019re rich<\/a> and famous.<\/p>\n COMMENTS AT STEVE SAILER<\/a>:<\/p>\n * [Ross] Douthat tweeted a link to Steve among three he credited with seeing this coming.<\/p>\n * Let\u2019s all remember to thank Steve for his tireless work in all of this.<\/p>\n Without Steve, there\u2019d have been no Invade the World\/Invite the World meme to hang on the elites.
