Trump is not half of the political spectrum, he's organized a hostile take-over of a political party that was vulnerable to such take-overs.

There's a reason he got elected, and it isn't because of some minority group in the US.

    I would suggest that maybe Hillary Clinton's campaign and candidacy alienated many people in the center. In my mind, that seems to be the simplest explanation for the existence of Obama-Trump voters.

      I think the Obama-Trump voters were a result of 8 years of partly empty promises. (He did a lot, but people hoped for much more. Yes we can / yes we scan.)
