I wonder what the maps looked like before 1992. In 1992, you had George HW Bush who was a moderate Republican going up against Bill Clinton who was a moderate Democrat. Plus Ross Perot also garnered a lot of votes. In 1996, Bob Dole was the GOP presidential nominee who was another moderate Republican. The chasm between the presidential candidates wasn't nearly as wide as it has been over the last 17 years.

Ehhh this past fall the candidates were also pretty moderate once you remove the personal vitriol/media smears.
Trump is probably the most moderate republican candidate in the last 40 years. Hillary, like her husband, was also quite moderate.
It's really the citizens of America who are pushing further apart right now. Not so much the politicians (with the exception of Comrade Bernie).
