during the nomination race (trade policy, health care policy, etc.) while pulling down the GOP mask and showing them to all be racists like he is, which makes his base feel free, and then, once he has secured the Republican nomination, he gets with the Republican establishment and runs more conservative in the GE? What a flip that would be. Usually the Republican candidates run conservative in the nomination race and then pivot to a more centrist mask for the general election.

The joy is, we have years and years of congressional voting records where democrats tried to get legislation passed on everything from jobs bills, equal pay for women, etc.
They're fucked.
