This is what amazes me about Trump's campaign- it's a one or arguably two issue campaign with few viewpoints on anything else that seems about a 90% certainty to win the GOP nomination. The anti immigration and anti free trade viewpoints largely are the exact same philosophy that Americans keep getting screwed and cheated out of jobs by foreigners, even though hating immigration is usually considered a GOP viewpoint and hating free trade is usually considered a Democratic viewpoint.
I wonder if Trump would be a do nothing president once he realizes how impossible getting rid of 11 million illegal immigrants and building his giant border wall is. (Not to mention how mad wealthy Repub campaign donors would be at him for getting rid of a workforce they can pay under the table and treat like dirt.) I definitely think that having a do nothing POTUS beats the hell out of having a POTUS like Rubio or Cruz who would do a whole lot of awful things.
