      1. Building on this @joshtpm twitter essay, I want to think about Trumpism after Trump:https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/753048410618470400 …

      2. I'm pretty confident Trump is going to lose, because of demographics, the groups he's insulted, & his own lack of discipline.

      3. But Trump has shown how vulnerable the American system is to a demagogue & it's possible that a FutureTrump could win.

      4. Trump's an undisciplined demagogue. He spews garbage & if the crowd likes some of it, he keeps repeating it.

      5. Looking back, the Mexican rapists stuff was only a small part of Trump's first speech. But it made a splash, so Trump kept at it.

      6. But imagine a slightly more disciplined Trump, one that worked not by instinct but had a plan: FutureTrump.

      7. The Mexican rapists remarks won Trump his first big cluster of support but it also cost him in long run: Latinos are a big demographic.

      8. FutureTrump would be more streamlined & strategic: instead of focusing on Latinos (17% of population) focus on a smaller group.

      9. Imagine FutureTrump focusing on, say, Muslim Americans. And creating wedges between them & other groups.

          10. FutureTrump would say: "I'm here to protect real Americans, including LGBT & Latinos, from the Muslim enemy within."

          thing is: Muslim Americans are first & foremost Americans from America. so that probably won't work (although much damage is done)
