He's way out of step with the GOP funders on immigration.

He pretty much did a 180 on foreign policy.

I'd say he's out of touch on foreign policy, but he's made the "speak loudly and carry a tiny stick" thing work for him with most Republicans.

Baseballhead is struggling because he knows Trump is a criminal and enabling bad people to destroy our system of ordered self-government. But he wants to pretend he's for the Republic and apple pie while getting the same policies that will end it. Which is hard.

@baseballcrank Recent studies suggest he appeals to a wide range of party elites and the base:@jacob_s_hacker and Pierson (2020): https://www.amazon.com/Let-them-Eat-Tweets-Inequality-ebook/dp/B07ZTT5ZK2/ref=sr_1_1?crid=13LIGD9KAKOMU&dchild=1&keywords=jacob+s.+hacker+%26+paul+pierson+let+them+eat+tweets&qid=1599418674&sprefix=hacker+and+pierson+let+them%2Caps%2C176&sr=8-1 … ;@sarahposner (2020): https://www.amazon.com/Unholy-White-Evangelicals-Worship-Donald-ebook/dp/B07X9J1GKF/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=unholy+posner&qid=1599418739&sr=8-1 … ;@johnmsides et al.

Trump has governed like Paul Ryan with a border cruelty fetish

And being a crook with no interest in governing except to enrich certain preferred groups. That’s a bedrock GOP tenet and Trump is obviously all about that.

He’s not in line with traditional Republican foreign policy

You forgot foreign policy. And this discussion desperately requires a definition of the term “GOP” & “Republican”. Who is the GOP? The voters? The Congress? The apparatchiks? The pundits? Is George W Bush no longer a Republican?

Right, to the extent that he's out of step with, say, Mitch McConnell, it's because he's willing to say random contradictory things on a range of issues that he's not going to follow through on.
