      3. Leaving aside Trump's tendency to mentally wander, Trumpism can be seen in speeches written for him by Steve Bannon & Stephen Miller

      4. Trumpism is paleo-conservatism with a tan: unilateral foreign policy, protectionism, immigration restriction, entitlements defence.

      5. Paleo-conservatism dissented from mainstream GOP position in mostly good ways (leaving immigration aside).

      6. 15 years into the Global War on Terror, who can deny that America foreign policy needs to be more modest & retrench from over-extension?

      7. After decades of stagnant wages & growing income inequality, who can deny that Washington consensus needs to be challenged?

      8. And anyone who is not a Think Tank lackey or zombie libertarian should welcome GOP POTUS who says he'll defend entitlements.

      9. So Trumpism had some positive aspects, but I never supported Trump because he was obviously not going to be able to implement this stuff.

      10. For Trumpism to work you need leader who was focused, policy-savvy, intellectually curious & able to recruit non-cronies to staff

      11. Trump obviously never had the character or ability to force GOP to shift policies: instead, Trump is now toeing GOP party line

      12. On issue after issue, Trump has betrayed Trumpism: he's now has McMaster/Mattis foreign policy & Paul Ryan economics.

      13. Trump is now, in @jonathanchait's words, "George W. Bush but racist." Only on immigration & general racism has Trump stayed true.

          There is no Trumpism without the racism, which you seem to not understand.

          Agreed. Especially re #8, I think Trumpism support for welfare $ is at exclusion of minorities, like much pre-Great Society welfare spending

          14. To clarify: my argument is that the racism is clearly the core of Trumpism, the part he won't abandon.https://twitter.com/RMFifthCircuit/status/854372680124035073 …

          Right: my only point is, there's no form of right-Trumpism that could survive w/o the racist element. It's not an unfortunate accident.

          US has long needed a responsible/non-crazy conservative opposition that accepts the legitimacy of the welfare state.

          No Red Toryism or christian democracy here cuz there is no cultural ideal of aristocratic paternalism. Our elites take the money and run.

          George W. Bush was also racist. Trump is "George W. Bush who's hardline on immigration."
