The liberals I've known (I've had to deal with them on shared interests) call it “nudging”. It's how they eventually get their way, little by little, piece by piece. Trump will be nudging himself to the left as he feels it becomes necessary. The question is how far will he go before he loses more of his (original) base than he gains with these transitions. I don't think this is going to be pretty. My new tag line, used once, may become obsolete before we know it.
Yeah, I know. I’m not in agreement with it at all if it is what he’s doing, but looks like he’s playing this part by the old rules. Stay to the right of center in the primaries, drift the other way in the general. Looks screwy to me.
I think NUDGE is the title of the Cass Sunstein book. The citizens are having mass psychology practiced upon us and it appears to be working, unfortunately.
