If Trump gains the nomination, however, many Republican verities are up for grabs. Trump has proposed a sometimes fiercely protectionist agenda in a party known for free trade. He has converted to the more than three-decade-old party line opposing abortion, but countered its more recent demonization of Planned Parenthood. He has advanced a wholly new Republican aspiration — government protection of the sort of jobs made vulnerable by globalization — while at the same time endorsing most of the party's habitual tax policies to further enrich those who benefit most from globalization.
