    Part of the Trump strategic gambit, even if he’s not doing it consciously: give GOP legal elites everything they could’ve asked for, which allows room to alienate GOP “natsec” elites (and to a lesser extent, econ elites) without losing the backing of broader conservative movement

        My eyebrows scrunch too much reading this tweet. I think the "natsec" and "econ" elites are the same with dif hats. And "legal elites" are their lawyers. Trump's gut doesn't go into this level of detail.

        legal: "The American Conservative" types. Small government, limited foreign intervention. Rand Paul econ: Really only care about taxes. Grover Norquist + country club GOP. NatSec/DeepState: Obvious. Mattis/Lindsey Graham/Hayden

        yes. and i think it's very useful to distinguish between such subgroups by their particular interests/goals. such groups cohere, at least informally, beyond partisan boundaries, by tacit recognition of common goals.

        Or, if you’d been following their activity in the ME for the past two years, you’d think they’ve been building up to this, and you were just treated to some kabuki theater.

        As long as Trump does what he promised to do in his campaign, his opponents can't really call what he's doing unexpected or against the wishes of his supporters.
