    One big mistake people make is seeing Trump as sui generis, a one-off, a Mule. He's in fact product of 50 years of GOP history

        There's a lot of deeply entrenched path dependency that made it possible for Trump to take over the GOP. That's not being confronted.

        And watching his performance since the primaries, it's incredible that he managed it so easily.

        @JesseLaGreca I don't think this is what Seldon had in mind but just as capable of lengthening the Dark Ages

        @JesseLaGreca A+ for the reference to the Mule from "Foundation and Empire." Very apt analogy.

        Right. Psychohistory would have been ALL OVER Trump.

        True that. The labs of Rove etc. -- a permanent Republican majority! -- made this inevitable.
