With the exception of his intermingling of religion and policy, yeah, he's culturally a Reagan Democrat / Bill Clinton Republican. He's the type of guy that will get outraged on cue if the Democrats call someone a "racist," and he ascribes an inordinate amount of credibility to government institutions (even though he occasion claims to want to reduce size of government). Economically, he's a neoliberal in the mold of any National Review Conservative, but Democrats have been on the free trade / no borders bandwagon since NAFTA was enacted. He's perfectly at home with 90's Democrats in that regard. The main problem is he's still humping this "think tank" version of Conservatism which drove the Republican Party into the ground. He still doesn't realize he's in a war, and only one side wins.
