I'm not a fan of Obama myself and I'm a fan of Trump as well but Kudos on this TL
Thanks! And don't worry, while I won't deny that this was friendly to Democrats, it's not going to be hackish- they'll have some tough times ahead.
If anything, this would start a second Republican revolution where they leave conservativism for moderatism so people like Rubio and Cruz are immediately out, but there will still be a no-establishment feeling around, so no Bush or Kasich either. Also, I realistically forsee Governors rising in popularity but not Senators (unless they are great at their job) but I do expect a full Republican Victory to control Congress in 2018 once more as we see more populist moderates take control of the GOP.
For the Democrats, I predict a split happening in OTL rn, where the party is divided amongst Sander-itez and Obamites, leading to either Obama ending his 12 years in disgrace or with the Democrats purging the Sanderites. Either way, a piece of the Democratic base can be absorbable by the Republicans by 2018.
For Huntsman, we could see a Neo-Reform Party form around him but unless the GOP nominate another Trump, it's going to like a relationship gone bad: Exciting and Passionate in the beginning, but completely dead by the end.
YMMV, but I predict that at the very least that we see a very Progressive Democratic party and very Moderate GOP for the foreseeable future.
