2008 Democrats go from Kerry to Obama. Repulicans on the other hand go with McCain/Palin, another gosh darned conservative Real America kind of ticket very much trying to push the same buttons as Bush.
2012 Republicans go with a much more moderate candidate in Romney.
2016 Republicans make a complete 180 and go to Trump, who is about as different from Romney as two old white conservative millionaire men can be.
Democrats on the other hand are going with their other option from the 2008 election, another intellectual moderate with a background in civil service.
If Trump wins, Republicans will see his way as the winning strategy and their next candidate will be another populist loudmouth.
