There are no policy differences between Trump and the GOP.

1. They all favor tax cuts for the rich.

2. They all favor banning abortion.

3. They all are the worst racists.

4. They all are the worst sexists.

5. They all favor reducing help for the poor.

6. They all are anti-immigration.

7. They all favor increasing the defense budget.

8. They all favor allowing business to be unregulated.

9. They all are climate change deniers.

10. They all favor putting prayer back in school.

11. Please let me know if I missed a spot.

THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANY OF THE GOP CANDIDATES.

I agree, he's not particularly clear about it. But the reason the GOP is having a cow over a Trump nomination is that he's well to the left on several issues you mention. In fact, he's to Clintons left on them too. That's why some Republicsns are supporting Clinton.

He's also against TPP, favors the direction towards single-payer, favors reduced college costs.

Though I think a lot of Republicans are OK with this sort of stuff if you're racist. Trump kind of exposes how little real policy means to a lot of these people.
