Pleasing moderate voters would make the base angry, and Trump defaults to whatever gets the base cheering. Not obvious in 2016. At the time, @jonathanchait was speculating whether Trump would be like Schwarzenegger, pivoting to whatever was popular https://t.co/30nC05LdZT https://t.co/ckszVHOxaQ — PolitiTweet.org
