That's about as mainstream as you can get.
Hillary is toast. Should have run Bernie.

"The National Restaurant Association, widely referred to as "the other NRA" (to distinguish itself from National Rifle Association, which shares the initialism), is a powerful lobbying force in Washington and state capitals. It is very active in fighting efforts to raise the minimum wage, as well as laws requiring paid sick leave. In July 2013, it boasted that it had successfully lobbied against raises in the minimum wage in 27 out of 29 states, and blocked paid sick leave legislation in 12 states.[5] It also takes credit for halting any increase in the federal minimum wage for tipped employees, which has remained at $2.13 per hour since 1991.[6][7]" Wiki

The National Restaurant Association is the trade group of Restaurant owners. Trump owns a lot of restaurants.
Expect the hotel owners next....

The 2nd Amendment has turned out to be a somewhat mixed bag, it seems to implicitly grant any village idiot access to tactical nuclear weapons if interpreted literally. Fixing allocation involves gross misbehavior, usually dead people, and is practically unenforceable thanx to the mass commoditation of a tool of death. The FF's trust in the common man was misplaced, imo, in the specific. We are not all individually trustworthy to that degree, nor should have been. The assumption that only trustworthy men of means could afford costly hand crafted flintlock firearms was short sighted in the extreme as it turned out.
Trump's stand on it is as elastic and self serving as any other he professes, he can only be relied on what he says to make the sale and nothing more.

Leading Neocon Signs Up for Concentration Camp
Robert Kagan points out the fascist nature of the Trump movement, comes out against it, and explains why most Republican figures won't:
Quote:
|
In such an environment, every political figure confronts a stark choice: Get right with the leader and his mass following or get run over. The human race in such circumstances breaks down into predictable categories — and democratic politicians are the most predictable. There are those whose ambition leads them to jump on the bandwagon. They praise the leader’s incoherent speeches as the beginning of wisdom, hoping he will reward them with a plum post in the new order. There are those who merely hope to survive. Their consciences won’t let them curry favor so shamelessly, so they mumble their pledges of support, like the victims in Stalin’s show trials, perhaps not realizing that the leader and his followers will get them in the end anyway.

This is how fascism comes to America: Kagan
