Yeah, I think that's some of what both parties are going to have to look at in the aftermath of this election. Both parties have candidates with tremendous populous support and less institutional support. There are two insiders (Clinton and Cruz) against two popular outsiders (Sanders and Trump). Whichever party loses will probably address some of those issues within the next four years, and since the Republicans seem to be the ones in more trouble because of it, they'll probably find a way to harness that anti-establishment feeling into the next candidate. And if the Democrats don't take that lesson, 2020 could be a big win for Republicans.
