Joseph,
IMHO, Donald Trump (the person) is just a distraction for both political parties who refuse to recognize the Big Lesson from the 2016 election. Had the DNC run an honest primary, the general election would probably have been between Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump.

Two outsiders from the entrenched interests of both parties is the real lesson to be gained. We The People at some gut level realize that our country faces some very real problems, many of which have some very practical solutions. We are tired of ideological gamesmanship and political hacks.

Trump may not be the Great Savior, but he is a great example of the larger underlying issue. If the Democrats don't abandon the "resistance" mindset and develop some very practical solutions, they will continue to lose. And the Republican PTB need to move beyond Reaganomics, the Tea Party, and neocon regime change to address very real economic and social issues. Otherwise, they will become as irrelevant as the Democratic Party.

Donald has the opportunity to become the next FDR by addressing the practical needs of the people while taking on the entrenched interests in both parties. It remains to be seen if he finally catches on to why he was really elected. If not him, I think The People will continue to search for an outsider who has learned the Big Lesson and is capable of acting.
