I would say TRUMP is to the Center of the rest, that's why he won.

The person to the center wins because they get the widest coalition.
Hillary had lost the middle class Rust Belt but the old establishment
had loved her..... the RUST BELT would be unlikely to go with an
establishment Republican.

I'd consider trump to have appealed to the Libertarian side of voters
who don't trust the government, which means TRUMP was appealing to both
ends against the old establishment middle. Which is why the Liberals
media think TRUMP is to the right of everyone. The establishment media
need you to hate TRUMP. SO the Establishment can slide back into the
middle slot.

*TRUMP is the new middle*
