No question the corporate tax reform, deregulation, conservative judges and increased military spending are straight out of the traditional Republican playbook.
Where he has changed the party is on several fronts. Trade is one. Republicans have never been monolithic on this issue but generally speaking the party has been for free trade. Clearly that has changed now. Remains to be seen what we do once Trump leaves office. Immigration is the other and I don't mean illegals. Reagan and Bush to a degree always spoke of America as the greatest place on Earth and encourage those from all over the world to come here. We now have people pushing to reduce legal immigration and while Trump flip flops on that sometimes he has backed it. The last one is character. None of these a*hole politicians are perfect. We hold them up on a pedestal but at the end of the day they are still people. But we (Republicans) used to give lip service to character mattering and now we've thrown that out the window.
So we'll see what happens. I'm sure we'll all be here to discuss it.
I'd be careful with deregulation, a good deal of what you call deregulation is actually the loss of consumer protection, i.e., stalling on fidiciary rules, ending some class action lawsuits, slacking environmental concerns, loss of comsumer security, etc
You left out family values, once a banner for conservatism; concern over deficits and debt, which we were told was a core conservative principle; judicial restraint, again, a consistent theme of Republican thought; weak Federal Gov't/Executive power, supposedly central to right thinking; and others of lesser extent

Dude, 'do we want an economy for the people or the billionaires' is just political rhetoric aimed at emotion.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- ‘Sixty-one percent of Americans say they are better off than they were three years ago, a higher percentage than in prior election years when an incumbent president was running. In the 1992, 1996 and 2004 election cycles, exactly half said they were better off. In three separate measures during the 2012 election cycle, an average of 45% said they were better off.”

ah, "earl," he made his money off of his books, lot different than stiffing subcontractors and filing bankruptcies
Not necessarily
View it from the millennials postion, they look around and see a deteriorating infrastructure, huge deficts/debts, a failing health system, major income inequality, childhood poverty, failing environment, etc., all which they will inherit and bought to them by Boomer politics, is it any wonder Bernie's rhetoric of change appeals to them beyond emotions?

I'm not getting into the weeds on deregulation but plenty of it was anti-growth under the guise of environmentalism. Repealing that is traditional Republican policy. It's not unique to Trump. Trump has given lip service to debt and deficits while doing nothing about them. Reagan actually tried to do something but short of that Trump fits into traditional Republican role on it when in office.. As far judicial restraint how are judges Trump is appointing any different than prior Republican Presidents? I mentioned character already. Did you read what I wrote?

There's 320 million people in the U.S. and maybe 400 billionaires. Saying the economy is for the billionaires is about appealing to emotion. I'll give you just one example. Are all the boomers who prevent new development and cause the price of housing to rise to unafforable amounts all billionaires? No they are not.
He profited from his silence after the rigging of the primaries by the DNC in 2016.
A new lakefront, 600K home, his third?
He will probably get another one this year.

Feb 13, 2020 - Sixty-one percent of Americans believe they are better off today with President Donald Trump than they were at the end of Barack Obama’s presidency, a newly-released Gallup poll shows. ... 52% say it’s easier “to go and buy things in the stores than it was three years ago.”

Oh, got it, another conspiracy, now did you get that one from Rush, Tucker, Glenn, Sean, Bill, or Laura?
As I said, to a millennial, in what they see as the country they will inherit, those hundreds of billionaires, and think what a billionaire actually is, making out while all the conditions I described above exist doesn't make sense to them, they believe there has to be a better way
Here's another poll that will send the left into conniptions:

Wow; people aren't as stupid as the Democratic Party of the Jackass think they are.
As opposed to you getting yours from Maddow, Mathews or Tapper?
You're such a dumb, pathetic leftist troll.
Another illiterate, grammatically challenged pile of word salad. You should go back to Middle School to be re-indoctrinated.

Wow; people aren't as stupid as the Democratic Party of the Jackass think they are.
“A CNN poll revealed that most Americans believe President Trump will win reelection in 2020.”
‘A CNN report says the poll, conducted by SSRS, finds 54 percent of people think that the president will win reelection, while 41 percent don’t think so.”
Landslide?
“The new poll suggests that Trump’s push for 2020 is gathering momentum. According to CNN‘s results in December, 51 percent of respondents predicted Trump would lose in 2020.”
It's great news. The Party of the Jackass is engaged in an internal civil war with the leftist loons taking over their party and Trump is continuing to win and make America great again.
The peril of the right is they do not see this is another case of voting for change. The people are not happy with what we have become and what we are becoming. It is getting worse for the people and better for the wealthy.
Obama, a black man,.was elected because hie promised change from Bush's Republican mess. Remember hope and change? But he had to deal with the Republican messes and did not get us moving to the helping the people enough. he did get the ACA in place. That was a huge accomplishment.
Then Trump said he would change it all, tear it down and rebuild it. He failed to mention it was for the benefit of the wealthy. He is destructive and taking us back to the Robber Barron days. Most people see that.
Bernie has spent a lifetime working for the people. His change would be real. If enough people understand it, they will flee daffy. He is not just a crook, but a bad one.Trump is not working for you at all.
America will vote for change again and trump will flee.
