I think also, when you look at 2012 the Wildrose were trying to take votes away from the PCs so they had to show that they were moving to the middle more directly than they do now when there's only two real party alternatives.

I don't think Smith has a strategy based on Trump's success. I don't think she has a strategy at all. She's probably just an idiot and social media echo chambers and her radio show success have convinced her that her own stupid opinions are good and valuable. It's as simple as that. Dumb person says dumb things because she don't that know she's dumb.
