Quote:The thing is, the "far right" has not won.  If you think that Trump is "far right" then you are way more "far left" than I thought.  He's actually probably closer to the center of the political spectrum.  A "far right" candidate would have been someone like Ted Cruz.

 

Here's a couple of key thoughts to consider.  When did Trump talk about religion?  What about other social issues such as gays?  What about abortion?  He didn't.  He also steered clear of entitlement programs.

 

His campaign coming down the stretch was for the most part optimistic, especially with issues that people really care about (the economy, immigration, infrastructure, government red tape, etc.).  He talked about fixing problems in inner cities rather than promising more "free stuff".
