You never know who's sponsoring these FROBLs or why they push their agenda so diligently. Like the pro-Putin crowd, their message is sometimes subtle and circuitous. Face it, FR is a venue vulnerable to propagandists. But in my discussions with Americans from a variety of political persuasions I hear two things: seal the border humanely; and put American citizens to work first. That some BMW-driving shareholder who belongs to the Republican party because he thinks his taxes might be lower if he supports them might disagree shouldn't surprise us. People vote with their pocketbooks in hand, don't they?
Generally true, but there are some exceptions.
ClintonBeGone refers to Mexican general Santa Anna as his "brother" and has admitted to having investments in Mexico.
Harrowup has confessed to being a life-long member of the ACLU and the Democrat party and admitted to being a troll and disruptor (see here).
They can't help themselves, eventually, they all come out of the closet.

I'm not quite that cynical (yet), but what you say has merit. I would suspect, though, that the majority of such "Republicans" are GOP "Big Tent" RINOs/liberals/moderates rather than conservatives.
This are the winning positions for candidates interested in running for elective office in either party. The issues sell themselves.
