      1. Last night was a watershed. Imagine if Gillespie had won. Trumpization of GOP would have accelerated rapidly.

      2. Gillespie was a test case: could a mainstream Republican run as a Trumpist & win. The answer, thankfully, is no.

      3. The big question about Trump was always; is he a harbinger of the future or a sui generis novelty act?

      4. Trump might not be Elvis or the Beatles, a transformative figure who remakes the landscape. He might be the "Monster Mash" - a one shot hit.

          5. Gillespie's Trumpism Without Trump failed. That's a hopeful sign for future politics! My thoughts here:https://newrepublic.com/article/145726/trumpism-without-trump-doesnt-work …

          Not an apt analogy. We are still hearing about the monster mash which turned into a graveyard smash over half a century on.

          We will still see Trumpism reign in deep red America, though. The racist genie is out of the bottle.
