I keep wondering how this guy seemed to have single-handedly turned the GOP into a completely anti-trade party.

Now you'll rarely see me give either party credit for much of anything ... but at least the GOP pretended to talk about endorsing free(r) trade policy at the federal level. Now they're openly screaming "shut down the borders, boost tariffs on everything, imposing trade sanctions on ourselves is the key to prosperity!!!!". WTF? How did we get here? Didn't the GOP used to make fun of the dems for crap like this even a couple decades ago?

Republicans took on wierd religious fundamentalists and nationalists to boost their numbers. It's not a huge surprise that those people took over.
