@sickburnbro Definitely ongoing - yes. That said, support for traditional marriage was removed from the GOP Platform in 2016, with Trump. The 2nd-Amendment language was stripped to almost nothing this year, and we know Trump wants "red flag" laws.

On Immigration, we rejected the Bushie position - the "Gang of Eight" position - but Trump went to the LEFT of "Jeb" and Obama policy on immigration (nevermind the empty talk). His trade position was as bad as Bill Clinton and the Bushes (anti-populist vs left/right). His foreign-policy position was also no improvement.

To be fair, Dubya signed an "assault weapons ban." That sticks in my head, because I remember Ann Coulter trying to excuse it at the time in an interview - "He (Bush) can't do everything" - as if simply refusing to sign it was too much to ask - sounding like a Trumpster, in retrospect. Even Queen Ann is far too easy on the GOP and Trump, for my taste.
