Trump remade the GOP in his own image -- to reject Obama's...

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : The Reagan Republican coalition devoted to free trade, mass legal immigration, "wars of choice" and entitlement cuts and hostile to organized labor, is no more.
46% : Trump, a veteran of reality television, a serial brander of commercial products and a fan of TV wrestling, is as raucous and hyperbolic as Obama is cool and deliberate.
45% : To the older Democratic constituencies of organized labor and African Americans, Obama and his allies welded former moderate Republicans whose great causes were Planned Parenthood and environmentalism.
36% : In its place, Trump and his allies have formed a new coalition based on strategic trade, limited immigration, skepticism about foreign military quagmires, defense of entitlements and outreach to labor union members.
34% : Trump had his revenge in 2016, when he shocked Democrats, and many Republicans, by winning first the GOP presidential nomination and then the presidency.
24% : Defeated in 2020 after serving one term, Trump was disgraced in the eyes of many by discredited claims about electoral cheating and subjected to "lawfare."
18% : One thing seems certain: The grudge match between Obama and Trump that flared at that 2011 dinner, and has been institutionalized in the national parties they remade, will likely continue for years to come.
