Also yeah
The reason he won the primary was definitely his personality and rhetoric; Ted Cruz basically copy and pasted his most popular proposals into his platform before the Iowa caucus.
So if you wanted Trump policies, you basically could've voted for Cruz. In fact, he was probably more right-wing/Capitalist in many ways.
However it is precisely because he was more far-right than Trump on economic issues that he was ironically not as electable as Trump.
I highly recommend everyone here read Trende's book "The Lost Majority".
@Den interesting, what did you take away from it
