I'm definitely worried about a populist candidate that's more effective at implementing their ideologies than Trump.Right. The Reagan/Bush days are over, for them it's the national populist shyt that Tucker Carlson promotes
But it must be quite difficult for a Dem to really wash the other side in a presidential race. The right will back any Trump-esque candidate.
One thing I hate to admit, but I respect about the GOP is their ability to support the candidate that their base wants. The GOP hated Trump in 2015 but he's who their base wanted so they got behind him. The GOP feeds their base in a way that the DNC doesn't, and I worry about that going forward. I think on the left we need to get our house in order and try to get on a unified page, because now we've got at least 2 wings of the party, and things are a bit fragmented.
