It would be optimistic to count on it, but one of the few ways the US political system could get back on track is through the scale of crisis we may be heading for.

I could see post Trump the POTUS having powers taken away by the slightly more grown up house and senate.
Dropping the 18th century method of nominating candidates and moving to a OMOV where only paid up members vote would make sense and eliminate the "Nutter" problem and that's using Nutter in its political sense, it would reduce the waste of money involved in the electoral process.
Just to be clear, to which crisis are you referring? Increasing polarization? The shit with Russia? All of these things? Something else?
Russia is the acute crisis, and the increasing polarization is the chronic condition which may have partially caused it and might possibly be resolved by it.
