Bannon  has  called  Trump  “a  blunt  instrument  for  us.”  Finer-tooled  instruments  —  smarter  and  shrewder  demagogues  than  the  movement’s  current  titular  head  —  may  already  be  suiting  up  in  the  wings.

Rich's latest piece offers up not much in the way of solace or optimism, but maybe, in exchange, we get historical perspective. As Rich sees it, all the right-wing movements from Father Coughlin up through George Wallace have fueled Donald Trump. But with this difference, Trump being the first to assume national office, his movement is fortified to be cohesive for the long haul.

Like I said, not optimistic, but who needs optimism when things are going so well?
