Oh my god. Please list the traditional Democratic views he holds, starting with abortion, health care, gun rights, separation of church and state, and undocumented immigrants. Please list the cabinet nominations he's made that would be typical for a Democrat. Please list the Supreme Court justices he's considered that would be typical for a Democrat. Please list the interactions with foreign leaders he's had that would be typical for a Democrat.

Very much pro-American workers, and anti-globalization. Rejection of TPP, increasing taxes on hedge funds by getting rid of carried interest, decreasing drug prices, full unequivocal support of LGBTQ, If you were following the Republican nominations, the other Republicans were accusing him of being a Democrat.

  full unequivocal support of LGBTQ What has he done, or promised to do, other than lip service?

    What has he done that goes against his lip service?

      Not quite an action yet, but his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast makes this seem likely: http://www.theinvestigativefund.org/investigations/gender/2318/_leaked_draft_of_trump%E2%80%99s_religious_freedom_order_reveals_sweeping_plans_to_legalize_discrimination/ http://www.theinvestigativefund.org/investigations/gender/23... Even if you think this isn't anti-LGBTQ, it is clearly very opposed to the Democratic party's position.

      Picking Mike Pence as his Vice President.

        Also Jeff Sessions as attorney general. He is not as vocal as Pence, but his voting and speaking record on gay rights is not very good.

If that's true, then "A lot".

        Educate yourself. Anyone can write a draft of an executive order. It's most probably not related to anyone in the White House. So there's nothing to that particular story. Stop scaring yourself over unnecessarily and wait for actual things to occur.
