There is no republican today that supports those issues.
He believes in Global Warming, and that we should have reasonable gun control laws, no republican in Congress believes in that.
He has effectively gotten us out of Iraq, and is in the process of getting us out of Afghanistan. The so-called moderate republicans wanted us to stay in Iraq.
Unfortunately, he most likely will sign the TPP, however, Democrats in the Senate could stop that, but do you really think that will happen?
Yes, he has talked about vouchers, however, as more statistics evolve, it is looking like the voucher system is not working, that is, the students are NOT better educated.
If you take the sum of all his values, and the sum of all the republican values, he is no republican. He is a moderate Democrat. They concept of a moderate republican does not even exist today. Just look at what they vote on.
