Trump was the mainstream candidate, no surprise there.
The idea that a far-right extreme conservative evangelical was going to beat Hillary was, as Trump would say, laughable.
Trump may also not beat Hillary, but he does have mainstream appeal and can connect with a much wider audience.
What will be interesting is how Trump now changes his outwards approach as he tries to win over the mainstream, swing voters, even some democrats who don't want an establishment figure, instead of registered republican voters that he has been targeting until now.
