This author thinks the answer is no.

Republicans have moved to Populist, and become more left-leaning.

It's something that always perplexed me about the left's horror at Trump. They guy is a hair away from a moderate Democrat and yet, Trumphitlerhaliburton?

His EPA and Supreme Courts pick were not left leaning. He has done everything to do Obama's legacy. Even asking visiting dignitaries what was Obama's position just so he could go opposite.

Try again.

One thing to consider is that when one side veers to the hard left, like the dim party has in the past decade or so, then it would naturally appear that the other moved right even when they stood still.

Undoing Obama's legacies ≠ Trump is a right-wing Republican.

And the EPA and Supreme Court are the only things he's really done that's right. He was one of the most moderate Republicans on most issues. He won't bow to the left's alleged morality and that really seems to freak them out.

As the article says, if the government moves left and one side stands still, it looks like they moved right.

Hillary said recently being a "capitalist" hurt her among democrats in the General election...

That should tell you everything you need to know about which party has moved which way..
