    It’s worth remembering that Trump’s popularity with voters allowed him to drag the Trump-hating establishment Republican party kicking and screaming into his orbit, and to eventually bend it to his will. It is possible for the same thing to happen with the Democrats, but no similarly compelling candidate has emerged. It’d have to be someone the rank and file voters can unify behind, in a way that can’t be ignored by the donor class that runs the party.
