How will Donald Trump be remembered in 2066?

[Kingpoleon]

Analogously to George Wallace; a man who made several runs for President representing a dying way of thought, who did shockingly well but ultimately never even came close to the White House and destroyed his health while doing so. (This assumes that he continues running over the next several cycles, even as he enters his 70s).

Trump does not represent a dying way of thought, his ideology is the future of the GOP.

_trump is literally the candidate of places with high mortality rates, and he's consistently done very poorly with young Republican voters (consider that, even as Rubio lost Nevada by 22 points, exit polls still had him winning the under-30 crowd by 6 points; not all states have had exit polling, but you'll find that Rubio won the under-30 vote in Virginia; Cruz won both Carolinas, Arkansas and Missouri among the under-30; _trump also won the under-30 vote in Michigan and Illinois due purely to the strong Kasich performance, and lost the 30-44 vote in both states to Cruz).  It's a way of thinking that is dying out not just figuratively, by people abandoning it, but literally, with those who hold it dying and not getting replaced.

Interestingly enough, the one part of the country where this trend is reversed is New England; Massachusetts is more muddled, but in VT and NH _trump is stronger among the youth and weaker among olds (in VT, Kasich won the over-65 crowd only). However, this is probably due to the unusual circumstance of there still being many Rockefeller Republicans voting in the Republican primary giving an illusory anti-_trump strength to the old; and regardless the region isn't particularly important to the GOP.

Kasich and Rubio encapsulate the future of the GOP far more than _trump does, to wit. (The whole metric is flawed, because as 2008/2012 showed Republican youngs have strong libertarian inclinations and this race hasn't really given them an option; either way my general point should've been made pretty well).

Didn't you say in Trends that Paulism, as a blend of Cruz and Trump, is the GOP's future.

The destroyer of an old, corrupt, archaic America predicated on false ideals and the founder of a new America, unburdened with outdated notions of liberty and equality and justice, that boldly bestrode the 21st century like the Colossus.

Yond Mikado has a lean and hungry look to him.

An accidental one-termer who set race relations back 70+ years.

Don't you love it when white men are experts on race relations?
