I'm a little worried that Trump wasn't just an aberration, but rather was just first of a new breed. Thinking back on the Republican playing field in 2016, I don't know that any of the other candidates could have handled the media abuse as well as Trump did, and in failing that most first prerequisite for a republican president, they couldn't have gotten very far.
