I know that Buchanan (the nearest guy to Trump on the scene today) talked about reform and how money corrupts the system and wealth and power holds down the people, and Trump talks like that too at times; there just doesn't seem to be any substance behind Trump's blatherings about reform. The trouble with wearing Republican clothes, is that it's very hard for politicians to take them off once they put them on, even for reality TV hosts and billionaire real estate speculators.

And of course as I said before, the xenophobic element in Buchanan and Trump turns many potential moderate supporters off. Buchanan's candidacy spelled doom for the Reform Party as of now. One thing different about Buchanan is that he holds to a more social-conservative line on things like abortion and gays than Trump does.
