      1. A few thoughts on how Trumpism could triumph even if Trump loses.

      2. Successful candidacy bread imitators. GOP is becoming Trumpized, no matter who wins. Rubio & Cruz now are mini-me Trumps.

      3. Surely in Congress & Senate, we'll see more and more pols, not just GOP either, adopt Trumpian rhetoric & parts of his agenda.

      4. But there is a more disturbing possibility we have to consider. The likely eventuality of a Trumpian president.

      5. As I repeatedly said, I don't think, barring an unforeseen catastrophe, Trump can win the presidency. He's too toxic.

      6. But Trump losing this year doesn't preclude a future candidate crafting a streamlined, more effective Trumpian campaign.

          7. America has a 2 party system. Given right economic circumstances, eventually GOP will regain presidency. Possibly with a Trumpian.

          @HeerJeet To be rid of this the GOP can't lose narrowly. They need a McGovern/Mondale style demolition.

          @HeerJeet disagree - his whole act depends on his wealth and name recognition and years in public eye. a random blowhard won't get traction

          @HeerJeet But changing demographics might cancel that out - harder to win on that platform each election.

          @HeerJeet You're assuming that you can replace Trump easily. I don't think you can, at least on the same level. But his platform, I agree.

          @HeerJeet How does a Trumpian fight demographics? Also, Trump rhetoric seems very tied to Trump as a person he's a "great" businessman, etc.

          @HeerJeet But if Trump suffers a Reagan-vs-Mondale (if not Chirac-vs-LePen)-style blowout, won't that poison the well for future Trumpists?
