The same with Reagan. In both cases the Democratic Party left its traditional base. I expect we'll see in both cases that the Democratic Party spends at least a quarter century in the political wilderness. Assuming it surives of course. The glue holding it together is thin and its factions are ripping it apart.

RINOs jumping ship won't help matters.

Donald Trump will quickly go to the orthodox part of the Republican party upon inauguration. He will not be seeking votes until 2020... so he can betray his erstwhile supporters at will as he does everything that the Corporate wing wants, transforming America into a pure plutocracy that entrenches power  forever and ensures that liberals will be forever irrelevant in American political life.

Expect this horrible man to include hypocrisy and betrayal among his repertory of evil. He no more cares about the common man than he cares about a sea anemone.  He might as well say "Suffer for my greed, peons!" after he is inaugurated.

2018 should be a slam-dunk tor Republicans with the likeli9hood of picking up a couple of Senate seats and maybe some House seats due to low turnout by people who have largely lost faith in the American political process.

I have no faith in 2020. Democracy in America that depends upon a contest of ideas could be dead that year and afterward. From then on we might as well be a single-party dictatorship until the dissolution of the USA, most likely in World War III.

All of the other predictions about Trump not coming from his supporters have thus far turned out false. Given your record, I expect not terrible things from him. The establishment GOP was running scared of his wave and I expect he will have to use all his momentum to keep it going. While I expect a second term I don't think he'll finish the second term, He'd be 74 in 2020, and you're forgetting there are mid terms coming up. The Never-Trump senators will be up and they will either fall in line or get screwed over at the polls.

The thing that I don't think you, and many others realize, is Daddy isn't a conservative. Couldn't be since he garnered over half the Bernie supporters. He is instead a Civic Nationalist and the new alignment will be one of Cosmopolitanism vs Nationalism.
