Trump being geniunely moderate this time around helps his cause by a lot. Whatever he says makes absolute sense. Even for example - his stances on extremely conservative topics of abortion - it's upto the state and states are voting based on it.
Very difficult to oppose someone who's pro their country, signs up for less wars, lowers tax slabs, calls out that the focus is the citizens and not anybody else in the world, progressive on new technology and so on.
