Peace Through Trump?

Donald Trump played a wily capitalistic trick on his Republican opponents in the primary fights this year—he served an underserved market.

By now it’s a cliché that Trump, while on his way to the GOP nomination, tapped into an unnoticed reservoir of right-of-center opinion on domestic and economic concerns—namely, the populist-nationalists who felt left out of the reigning market-libertarianism of the last few decades.

Even if Trump loses, his energized supporters, having found their voice, will be a new and important force within the GOP—a force that could make it significantly harder for a future president to, say, “liberate” and “democratize” Syria

this article talks about 4 groups:

Libertarians
Isolationist (Paleo-cons)
Hawks
neo-conservatives (Neo-cons)

2 groups were ignored in previous election cycles; Hawks & Isolationist. Seems to suggest that Neo-cons might be the odd man out in the GOP coalition.

Article does make a good point that Trump will have trouble filling the foreign policy slots as those were filled by Neo-cons.
