Centrist Trump

Writing at the New York Post, Julian Epstein delivers an idea amazing in its simplicity - with no one noticing, Trump has become a centrist. I like Epstein's conclusion.

Trump slowly claims the centrist lane of American politics. Think of it — abortion (12-week ban), closed borders, balanced budgets, equal opportunity (not equal results) and anti-bigotry on campuses, peace through strength on the global stage, education reform.

Trump is claiming the political center as the Democrats fulminate in a morality cartoon most Americans don’t recognize.

Indeed.
