Trump the Liberal

[Horatio Parker]

From Kevin Drum:

He thinks affirmative action is okay.
He would fund Planned Parenthood except for abortion. (This is current federal policy, though Trump doesn't seem to know it.)
He supports a progressive income tax. He does not favor a flat tax.
He doesn't believe you should be able to fire someone just for being gay.
He doesn't want to cut Social Security or Medicare.
He's in favor of a ban on assault weapons.
He invited Bill and Hillary Clinton to his wedding.
He doesn't "fully" believe in supply-side economics.
He wants to "lead from behind" on Ukraine. Trump believes that Germany should take the lead on Ukraine.
He hates the Iran deal, but he wouldn't abrogate it after taking office.

He's pro-choice. Or was until he declared.

Trump has zero appeal to the liberal mind.

He and his ilk are the problem, not the solution.

So Trump is a "systems" person. Is that a hate system that deports Millions of Mexicans , builds a wall around our country and condemns anything that is not profitable to him personally? Wake up. This Trump guy is a dangerous clown. We just got rid of one. Why would the American people ever want more? Trump is running on hate mongering for now. He cannot keep up that level of contempt for humanity and support that to any real constituency all the way to an election. If your taste in presidents is for goulish goons, I suppose Trump could be your man.

They're really, really trying, aren't they? It's kinda sweet.

Yeah, the "Trump's a liberal" is about all the GOP has to use on him. If they try to debate him on the issues they have to take a more liberal stance or go full Poe.
