On the "Ezra Klein Show" podcast, Yglesias argued that Trump is more moderate in some policy areas than Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah – the 2012 Republican presidential nominee – and other establishment Republicans.
"I know how strong the reactions are, so I just — I want to be careful in what I’m saying. But Donald Trump’s stated policy views are just not that extreme," Yglesias said.
"The positions he took on immigration are pretty similar to the positions Mitt Romney took on immigration. The positions he took on economic policy are much more moderate than the ones Romney took in 2012. His wildest ideas — like we should completely ban Muslims from entering the country — poll better than lots of more, quote unquote, ‘mainstream’ opinions," Yglesias continued.
