I suspect the new R, when the dust settles, will have a strong element of protectionism to go with its religious fundamentalism and hawkishness. More the inheritors of William Jennings Bryant (late in life - the Monkey Trial WJB) than Ronald Reagan.

Buchanan is an idiot. The Free trade sector of the Republican party completely overwhelms the few protectionist idiots. Corrruption is a problem, but so is the social conservatism, which Buchanan would never admit to.
That is where we tick of the center, not because of free trade.
