They haven't shifted this year.  But, despite winning this election, I do have some concerns for what it means for my wing of the party (Rubio, Cruz, Walker, McCrory, Pence, etc.) long term.

One thing I will say is that I feel like my 100% pro-unrestricted free trade stance doesn't fit in anymore.  That is the only issue, though, where I really feel like my party has left me.  I was worried for a while that it would concede too much to the libertarian wing (like the PATRIOT Act, which I support unequivocally), but, at least Trump's nomination went against that force.

As for me, I got pulled so far to the left that my party label switched. I used to think center-left pro-business liberalism was good for all, but my mindset is totally with the labor movement now, and I feel foolish for previously conflating the two as equally relevant, good and indistinct philosophies.

So, did you just vote for Trump because of abortion and political correctness, or did you have another reason?
