You mean "to the left of the Republicans" I assume? He's pro-gun control, pro-abortion, against eminent domain reform, pro-business regulation, and so on. He's historically donated to and endorsed Democrats including the Clintons. Basically he's the asshole version of Michael Bloomberg, who was technically a Republican but wouldn't have passed for one anywhere other than NYC.
- outlace 11y agoHe used to be some of those. He used to be a democrat. His current form as a presidential candidate is way hard-right.
- bruceb 11y agoHe isn't hard right. All one has to do is go to rightwing blogs/news sites and see the many people who bemoan the fact he isn't conservative. Don't confuse saying impolite and occasionally trollish things with having "hard right" positions.
- outlace 11y agoI think going by his positions on issues and his supporters in scientific polls he would qualify as pretty far right, maybe not the farthest right, but definitely over there (definitely not center-right). I wouldn't use anonymous comments on blogs and news sites to place someone on the political spectrum.
- loumf 11y agoHe just says whatever will get him attention so it's hard to say what his positions are. However, if elected, it would presumably be on a mandate to build a wall on the Mexican border (and deport 11m undocumented immigrants), "beat up" the Chinese on currency manipulation, and keeping Muslims out. These are the things in his commercial and what he repeats over and over in current speeches.
