Rats. You assume that all the people who turned out to vote for the Donald all had the sane end goals.
Regardless of who he may be tapping now, he was stumping yes, a very right wing immigration policy, but at the same time protectionist policies.
You can't just lump all of those who voted for him into one basket.
Nor can you ignore the turnout, or more importantly the lack thereof. Less people voted for him than Romney, yes? His vote was similar to McCains. The last two elections prior turned out people voting for someone who was preaching universal healthcare. Trump was never promising to kill universal, he was promising to repeal and replace with 'something better'. A majority of people want Obamacare to remain.
Any suggestion that they have been moving further right in recent times is ludicrous.
Their parties sure have, and in an effective 2 party system, that doesn't leave people much option.
8 years of Clinton, 8 of Bush, which never should have happened had new law not been made to deny Gore, then 8 years of Obama (Who on the stump sits to the left of HRC).
We then get an election where essentially the left wing vote doesn't turn out across the rust belt, which decides the election.
But yes.... all evidence would suggest they are moving further and further to the right......
