...There's room for a nativist-but-not-bigoted populist candidate in the center. The problem for the raging moderates is finding that person. He's likely to come from outside of elective office, since such a critter will have a hard time getting elected in the modern two-party system. He'd likely have to be fairly rich and/or famous in order to finance a campaign from outside the normal special-interest loci of the major parties.

However, if such a person does surface, there would be room for them to maneuver. There is a market for a populist immigration hawk, but it would have to come from the center if he were to have a chance of getting to 30% and having a shot at a plurality win.

Any suggestions for our Dobbsian candidate?
