A similar percentage of Republican elected officials lined up behind Trump and remain there today. You are correct that the electorate shifted to some degree. Blue collar white voters shifted in Trump's direction and the college educated and suburbanites shifted to Hillary. But that happens to some extent in every election.

Trump never would have been president if the vast majority of 2012 Romney voters hadn't voted for him.
