Trump getting as far as he has shows that republicans are doing exactly that. They are moving from a conservative party, to a populist one. This general discontent that is unlikely to go anywhere in the next 4 years. Should the next republican presidential candidate be someone less racist and sexist, somewhat more intelligent, and much more well spoken while continuing to appeal to widespread populism and discontent, IMO that person is likely to run away with the vote in the next election.
