    Or is this actually how extremists become moderate when compared with people who are even more extreme than their policy positions? Cause if the majority of Republicans are on Trumps side and Haley holds a minority position that is closer to the Democrats and Democrats only have a little over half then Haley’s position would indeed be the current moderate position if we are framing things in that way since these are the establishment groups.
