The 'broken coalition' is a political strategy where candidates prioritize straight white Christians as the largest demographic bloc.

The broken coalition, every time I've heard Larry Nichols talk about it, this is a strategy that is specifically about prior. One of the things that every candidate would do is prioritize straight white Christians as the largest demographic bloc that you're vying for. The Clintons realized that you could fight for this demographic, or you could understand that there's a lot of people in the world who have different interests. So you could bring in the LGBTQ community. You could bring in the African-American community. You could bring in Hispanic voters. And the sum of those coalition that are disconnected, apparently, because of their individual interests, create a larger voting block than the straight white Christian bloc. That is how it's always been described to me in the way I understand it.
