Aren't those the kind of things he shrugs off having said in the next interview?

I haven't heard him back off on any of those, and he's repeated the talking point about unfair trade and the need for tariffs a yuge amount of times.

[Eddie Teach]

Ok, so he's a Herbert Hoover conservative.

[Admiral Yi]

I don't know if Herby backed Hoot-Smawley or not.  He's definitely a Bernie Sander's conservative.

I'm really not sure how big the bloc of voters he might lose on free trade is. Typically, seems most "economic conservatives" are motivated mostly by taxes.

Fair enough, though at the very least I expect it will matter to the donor class.

Anyone think the voter turnout is going to beat the 54.9% we had in the last election?  Or even the 50.3% we had in 2000? (A figure which tbe Nader-killed-Gore's-presidency sour grapes crowd should contemplate.)
