re: Apparently Bush 43 is NeoConning pretty hard today in New York

FWIW, it's economic nationalism. Something that appeals to working class Americans on issues like trade and immigration. This is how Trump won the Rust Belt. These are the forgotten working men and women.

The ole GOP run by the GOPe had this group of voters twice under Reagan's two election victories for president. Other than that the GOPe has never had these voters.

These voters typically voted Democrat. There was a time that Democrats actually cared about these forgotten men and women via union support, immigration policy, tax policy and trade policy.

No more. The Democrats have abandon these voters and replaced them with SJWs via identity politics.

As Trump is rebuilding the Republican party on economic nationalism based on specific policies like immigration and trade the old guard "globalists" GOP establishment are fighting backs joined by the Democrats.

Generally speaking there are three factions:

1. Economic nationalist who want controlled boarders and fair trade policies.

2. GOPe who want open borders and multinational trade accords...just because their corporate lobbyists pay them to support those positions (for cheap labor and corporate protections in trade).

3. Democrats who want open border (to get more future voters) and multinational trade accords (to implement Marxism by abdicating U.S. sovereignty to these commissions within these multinational trade deals).

2. and 3. are fighting 1. Bush 43 falls into group 2.
