re: Going forward: What is the GOP pitch?

Depends on who the GOP targets to join the coalition - either possible candidate requires one hell of a concession from typical GOP platforms.
(Note: At the core of the GOP the only tying feature is lower taxes and lower regulations, that's the only thing white-collar corporate type republicans, evangelicals, and MAGA have in common).
Option 1: Go the Hispanic route - requires giving up a lot on immigration, but pulls in a mostly religious group that hates "Latinx" wokism, and much prefers Capitalism to Socialism
Option 2: Start picking off from the center left - same route, most people hate wokeism, and believe their daughters should have a chance in sports. However, it's going to be hard for them to bite on a "Trump-type" candidate, and they wont go for an Evangelical one (i.e. a candidate that runs with a focus on reversing Roe vs Wade).
Trying to pull MAGA back in (based on how this board is posting) is probably a lost cause. It's going to be hard for MAGA and corporate republicans to reconcile after this month.
