It depends on the issue. Here is my analysis:
1. Social issues: Anti-Trump, without a doubt.
2. Immigration: He sold out his Conservative Libertarian allies for votes on this issue. Trump Lite.
3. Free Trade: See #2 above. Trump Lite.
4. Economic Policy: While both Cruz and Trump support huge tax cuts for the wealthy, they do so from a different philosophical perspective. Ted also wants to bring back the gold standard. He’s clearly the more extreme candidate on these issues, so call him the Anti-Trump.
5. Entitlements: Ted hasn’t seen an entitlement cut he didn’t support. Anti-Trump.
6. Foreign Policy: Both candidates have strong isolationist streaks, but Ted hasn’t questioned the value of NATO, threatened to bring troops back from South Korea and Japan, or suggested imposing a huge tariff on Chinese goods. Anti-Trump.
On balance, I would say he’s more Anti-Trump than Trump Lite, but it’s fairly close.
