      1. My constant refrain: Trump is not an aberration, he's a product of deep rooted economic & cultural change. Trumpism is here to stay

      2. Trump himself is a con artist (as witness Trump Foundation story) but Trumpism is a real social movement, not to be dismissed as a fad.

      5. Despite Reagan's impressive electoral victory in 1984 -- in some ways because of it -- American right started fracturing in 1980s.

          It started in the 1960s. The emergence of Goldwater and the invasion of the Dixiecrats.

          6. 1980s fracturing of right result of waning of Cold War (removing unifying glue of anti-Communism) but also economic impact of Reaganism

          In fact, his win was only significant one for Right on Election Night. Lost a seat in the Senate, and only small gain in House.
