And she’s actually one of the more socially-presentable members of the left-fringe. There are plenty of people who are even further “Out There” than her.

Pretty much, yeah.
I guess you could say that in the Age of Trump, the GOP message is:
1. Lower taxes; less regulation on business.
2. Enforce the national borders.
3. Judicial-selection and confirmation of judges like Gorsuch/Kavanaugh.
4. Diplomatic affinity with Israel.
5. Pro-police, anti-BLM and similar social movements.
6. Distrust of most professional media.
7. Uphold 2nd Amendnent.
8. Selective use of tariffs against nations with trade-imbalances.
Is that the republican message or the Trump message?
I'd say that's consistent with what Trump has done, but I haven't seen republican messaging to that effect.
