      Aside from immigration, Trump on every issue either moved the GOP to the left or left it as he found it.

      Except for moving away from Wilsonian interventionism, focusing natsec fights on actual threats, exiting Paris (contra Romney’s pleas!), judges, regulations, NATO requirements, pro-life posture, trans in military, fighting statue removals/desecration of history, sure.

      Most of those were already GOP orthodoxy before Trump - pro-life? originalist judges? Deregulation? All since Reagan. The only difference you cite is his shift to the left in resisting American influence & engagement abroad.

      He was 1st to address pro-life March, deregulated dramatically more than anyone in history, took judges to whole new level (I co-wrote book that goes through that in detail), & Wilsonian interventionism is NOT conservative, and he moved back to a GW/Ike/Reagan direction on that

      The only actual policy change - as opposed to things that most everybody else ran on by 2016 - was his pacifistic leaning on foreign policy. I know you prefer that, but it is still a left-leaning Howard Dean policy. Ditto on trade, entitlements, spending.

      Trump absolutely took GOP Left on many issues; that’s the Populist element to his appeal. Cernovich constantly says now “Go left on economics and hold on culture” or something. Its that energy which Trump taps into.

      Right. Indeed, that is nearly the entire point of arguing that "Trumpism" has any policy content. If the argument is just "do the stuff you promised already," there are plenty of people willing to do that, & no need for an intra-party schism.

          I do think however that the full appeal of Trump is as a Culture War Hero for his base; the policy is second to this, or rather, the policy is “whatever it needs to be in the moment to assist the primary appeal”.
