This doesn't square with reality. If anything Trump is not "old Republican establishment leadership"... but is precisely the opposite. I'm afraid that when people say this they really mean, "We want our kind of insider politician who talks really slick and is a good salesman".2. The Republicans continue to go with the establishment leadership using the same old tactics that have resulted in loses or narrow wins ever since 1988.
Also, over the years I've run into a lot of people, who if you understand human nature, traits and behaviors and spend enough time around them, will sooner or later, reveal how they really feel inside and how they make such judgments on people like Trump. Actually given enough time and encouragement, they just can't hep it. TDS is especially prevalent with southern Democrats (even closet Southern Democrats) but can apply to both white guilt new agers and those whose families bought into FDR's New Deal Socialism and goes something like, "My pappy was a Democrat, my grandpappy was a Democrat, my great grandpappy was a Democrat so by God, Jefferson Davis, Huey Long and Sheets Byrd so am I". Sadly sometimes it's no more sophisticated than that.
