More likely trump would have opened the eyes of future political opportunists to how long it is possible to get away with ignoring all public decorum, pandering explicitly only to a core of lowlife supporters, and lie bluntly all the time, and marginalized all knowledge, experience and expertise.
Unfortunately, you're probably right.
And, of course, the left politicians are going to continue to try to appeal to the moderates while the right appeals to the fringe. That's what's been happening for 20 years and I don't expect it to stop any time soon. The result is that politics in general have gotten pushed to the right so much so that there is no real left anymore; there's a right wing party and a crazy, far-right, extremist party.
