Per my earlier comments about convention speeches and talking about change, Trump has developed a “gutting existing policy” thread as he talks about trade deals and foreign policy. The thing is, the policies he talks about are as much the result of Republican leaders as Democratic ones. This highlights Trump’s highly unique situation as a party outsider, but it’s also not uncommon for candidates who come at the end of a political era — the Reagan era in this case — to find themselves in this position.
