The Trump movement
and what it means

found online by Raymond

 
From Infidel753:

Donald Trump has long said that his candidacy represents a movement, not just a conventional campaign. The thing is, he has a point. What began as an insurgency, dismissed as unserious by mainstream Republicans, has swept aside supposed heavyweights like Jeb Bush and John Kasich to capture the nomination and then make a frighteningly-credible play for the general election. Yes, he’ll almost certainly lose, but current polling and Electoral College projections look like the run-up to an “ordinary” Democratic win similar to 2008 or 2012, not to the blow-out one would expect after one party nominated such an outrageous and fatuous candidate.

So yes, the Trump “movement” has fallen with one hell of a splash into the calm blue waters of conventional political thinking, and we would be wise to consider its implications even after it is finally flushed away in November. What lessons can we find here?
