Folks can change definitions all they want to fit their agenda; however, just know:
Trump's political base was Republican
Hillary's political base was Democrat
I would not. I know some DACA recipients that are conservative. It's a varied group.
As for the bases as you list them, I disagree. Trump was elected espousing rhetoric that was not Republican at all. His most ardent supporters would not have been Republican because of this. I know that if you look at a Wikipedia article on a political base they refer to the party, but that isn't a hard and fast definition. Political science is more nuanced than that.
