Sure. Hopefully the next one doesn't sell mail order stakes, or talk about sexual harassment on public radio. Hopefully the next one is at he very least an educated legal and political scholar who just happens to be a nutty overzealous republican. Because those folks are easy to beat in both the polls and the court of public opinion.
It's the jackasses who talk like pro-wrestlers that are hard to kill. They inspire faith from ... well.. people who watch pro-wrestling.
Honestly we can blame ourselves for Trump. Not, like, WE, specifically, but the nation. Trump is a reaction to white america's feelings of impotence and frustration and behind led by a black man. He's taking that resentment, that racially charged impotence, and he's promising us a "Viagra" for it, do to speak.
We brought this on. Or, rather, about ½ the country did.
But saying there will be another Trump may be a bit on the nose. Here's never been anything quite like this before, though there have been Limbaughs and Nugents and McCarthys, but none of them have been presidential finalists.
It's more likely to happen again if we don't absolutely humiliate him -- rotten tomatoes and all -- like Slambang said. People need to learn their lesson, and it's not enough to simply keep him out of office. We have to drain him of any influence or power at all. When this is over, and he's pushing for a TV show on E!, we need to line up and pitcket. We need to boycott his very visage. Never click on another Trump story, refuse to make him a trending topic on social media. The world needs to look at him and think, "that's failure, and we almost put failure in the White House."
