Makes absolutely no sense?

Makes plenty of sense. If you look at the polling, the #1 issue for about 20% of the Democrats is unemployment/economy. Not welfare, not typical uber-lib policies. These are the blue-collar Reagan democrats who still exist.

Trump can absolutely attract them.

Most of the public is not ideological. That has always been true. Most people do not have coherent ideologies. It is not confusing.

Trump, by hitting on the number 1 Conservative message in an effective way, has reached most Conservatives. That is he puts the continuity of American achievement, the continuity of having a recognizable America and her interests, first. This reaches not only most true Conservatives, but a great swath of other Americans who do at least love America & her interests, even if they fall for the Leftists appeals on particular other issues.
