Gutless movement conservatives who don't like Trump but support his policies anyway?

A Marist poll on a Kasich primary challenge to Trump went 64/23 Orange.

That's not unbeatable for Kasich...

Kasich continues to have no national constituency among the Republican base,
Isn't it? If Trump loses a primary, Kasich is not going to be the guy to do it. Trump failing doesn't make Kasich more popular.
The more interesting number is this:
Trump - 56%
Pence - 33%
That is an atrocious number for Trump against his VP.

Depends on what happens to Trump's numbers. What I'm seeing here is that like 15% Republicans who approve of Trump were not willing to actually say they support him in a 2020 primary.
OOOOOOOH.

I'm a pro free market, pro assault weapon, anti-handgun, pro-immigrant non-straight POC that believes in the necessity of American unilateral strength abroad, cheaper (but not free) college with cost cutting initiatives, german style allpayer healthcare system, and ecological preservation. My closest political analogues are like... Hillary Clinton and Bill Kristol.

I just don't see Kasich being able to capitalize on it. Being a Cassandra doesn't endear you to primary voters.
I don't get it. Do you mean pro hunting weapons, anti personal safety guns?
Meh, the true bleeding edge has already moved on to these:

Hunting, but also assault weapons in general. Gun deaths are going down, not up, and mass shootings are simply uncommon. It also alienates other voters who have safety fetishes. Really the kind of hyper focus Democrats used to have on gun legislation was is an unhelpful delusion.
But handguns are the scourge of urban civilization. The number one reason for incarcerating juveniles is illegal firearm possession. I want to keep kids out of prison and make concealed firearms prohibitively expensive.

This is nonsense but you keep repeating it
This is a much more honest answer.
If you use Freeden's classifications of ideologies, you sound pretty much like a textbook neoliberal. But I know that word has been widely contested so it may sound improper to you.
Maybe Taft with Roosevelt? Roosevelt first let Taft take the reins, he wasn't pleased, wanted the Republican nomination, they went with Taft, he made his own party, the Bull Moose/Progressive party, even though they were basically arguing for the same thing (along with Wilson)

Assault weapons are a fraction of gun violence while handguns are by far the most common. The technocratic position would be to outlaw handguns if you can.

Right. Even though I dispute gun violence being significant enough to matter, even if I did prioritize it, the answer is not reduce magazine capacity and limit to semi-automatics, it's going from the opposite end and moving up.

The argument is sound other than how restricting handgun ownership would alienate those very same people on an even wider scale than banning assault weapons.

Just how scary far left is Kyrsten Sinema running in Arizona's CD9 for Congress?
Guy Benson has really nailed it with this revealing expose on Democrat Kyrsten Sinema, who was once awarded the Vladimir Lenin award from the Arizona Federation of Taxpayers for being the furthest left member of the Arizona State Legislature. Don't believe her pretend transformation over to the mainstream, which includes a radical change in her appearance to look more moderate. Read his article at Townhall here.

Blonde hair is the sign of moderation huh?
I thought it was a sign you just signed a contract w/ Fox News?

Sinema was Nader's Arizona spox in 2000 lol

Maybe it's just that short red hair on a woman is the sign of radical Leninism.
She's a member of the Blue Dogs...

Kinda reminds me of why when people complain that rural Americans are the true victims of bigotry, I want to punch them in the face.

Whenever I pictures of her, she looks very business for congress. Then I see pictures where she's out of congress and she has so much color and flare.
I was mostly commenting because I hate the pomp and circumstance of congress. Then again I'm from California and I've never worn more than a polo to work.
DC is apparently just a fashion dystopia (per Tim Gunn) cause we're super conservative (small c) in clothing compared to the rest of the nation.
