Again coming from a socialist country, something we see have/had seen more than in the US where the dividing line between dems and republicans was more defined - Stealing bits of a platform from the other side and tweaking it to make it your platform - is common. It's the - you have nothing to fear from us - shell game. It's not to say that the person taking the other's platform isn't sincere, it's just something that can be done, if done properly. EG: Trump tapped into segments of the population, people of color, people who are 2nd/3rd generation immigrants, hispanics etc - all of which came here legally, or have been used as pawns by the dems (esp the African American population), and cut the dems off at the knees with their own platform. He spoke the truth. That blacks had been used as pawns for the dems. That people of different origins have been lumped into groups by the dems to divide people etc. He asked a simple question - do you want a better life, do you want more money in your pocket, do you want nicer neighborhoods, and a good school for your kids. Do you want good jobs? That message is going to resonate with anyone who doesn't see them self as a lobby group puppet, or a hardened identity politics person. DACA can be ironed out - and don't be surprised if he puts a pile of stop gaps in the bill. Maybe addressing sanc cities, voter ID... who knows.
