But, yeah, what this article really says is Trump lacks the policy knowledge if he were even inclined to have policies.  And that comes as no surprise to about half the electorate.

I'm under the impression that "industry experts" may not have the public interest at heart while crafting "necessary or value added" legislation

--regardless of whom for.

And it's "the other half of the electorate" that's less likely to notice any divergence, or even welcome it, right?
