Will he offend liberal sensibilities if elected? Sure -- and I think as badly as Maine Governor Paul LePage.
He has yet to establish paramilitary militias whose blind obedience will allow them to do any act of violence.
He does seem to be in the process of recruiting them, or at least inviting or suggesting them to establish such a militia.
On the whole he does seem to promise a "flexible" approach to working with congress now. If he wins, though, he won't have to be too flexible. We can assume he'll have a congress that is right wing in that event; even perhaps a Republican Senate that will abolish the filibuster and go for the "nuclear option." Whatever the dear leader wants.
