I'm kind of perplexed as to how Trump seems to be a Rorschach inkblot to ... left wingers is as good a name as anything.
At least as regards what he campaigned on he is as close to a dove on foreign policy as we've seen since... geez it's been a heck of a long time. Eisenhower?
He doesn't want to get rid of Social Security. Actually his positions on economics would have been pretty run of the mill - in 1975 before all this marketeer Milton Friedman crap.
He really doesn't seem to give a flaming rip about homosexuality, one way or the other. He is as antisemitic as anyone who has spent their life in NY real estate, and whose child married Jewish. Yet both charges are inexplicably leveled against him.
Yet it is his position on illegal immigration that inspires frothing at the mouth like I have not seen in my lifetime.
You know I really think I could make a good case for Trump being to the left of everyone on pocketbook issues since Nixon.
On the other hand, he isn't going to be able to fix Obamacare. The only thing that will fix that is to eliminate it, or morph it into a version of single payer or one of the approaches used successfully in other countries.
He could buy some time if he is able to muscle drug companies, but I think that one will be harder to pull off than building the wall.
Great post. I'm amazed at how liberals hate him.
On social issues, he is much more liberal. On foreign policy, he is not some war mongerer. He only wants to focus on the USA.
He wants to help workers and the economy. On the right regarding that, but that will work itself out either way.
I'm quite perplexed that immigration has caused so much vitriol from the left.
But oh well. Glad he won over that nasty woman he ran against.

I really think the left thought they had farmed enough votes to secure at least the White House from now on. I think most people thought that, too. The 47% that Romney referred to during his campaign sure seemed solid.
Trump scared the shite out of people in the middle and on the right and managed to get people to go to the polls who would have had no interest in voting had he not garnered the Republican nomination. I think he was the only candidate that could beat Clinton and the DNC machine.
Trump may still turn out to be the last Republican president unless the slim majority who elected him manage to hold sway over the deep red states and keep control of the blue states they converted for this past election. Of course, I'm talking about Electoral College votes. The absolute majority voted for Clinton and represent the left's power.
That body of voters is frothing at the mouth and will rise en masse in 2018. Unless the GOP manages to make some very positive changes in the average American's life by then, it could be a blood bath for Republicans.
