But on the issues little separates him from the rest, despite what he says. He's an absolute hawk and and is obsessed with Islam (I won't call him an Islamaphobe...I don't wanna trigger anyone). He's right in line with Trump on immigration and the wall, spewing all the same talking points during his campaign. His economic and tax beliefs are again right smack dab in the Republican mainstream. He's an absolute corporatist and espouses the same trickle down nonsense the rest of them believe, and he preaches austerity. He's spoken out strongly on most entitlements. He's a 2A nut. He's a pro-life nut. He's a religious liberty nut. He's a big charter school guy. He cries about all that safe space, PC, college campus stuff. Healthcare-wise he's a socialized medicare scaremonger. He's better than most of his peers on climate change (talk about low bars), but still believes we need to drill more.
I don't know man. He mostly sounds the same. He just is more willing to talk about the working class, and doesn't come across as bought-and-paid like all his neanderthalic peers.
