Pandering to the far right helped cause trump? If you mean by the way his like failed to live up to the pandering when it came to action the electorate wanted: yes. If you mean he somehow turned the electorate "far right" through his pandering: no.
Trump came about because much of what he promised to do the neocon republicans had pledged to do themselves since the days of Reagan and failed to even attempt since Bush Sr. Intentionally or not; they could only fail so long before the electorate looked elsewhere.
