There will be more of this. Unless this country makes a change and corrects many of the bad economic decisions that have been made over the last 30 years we will see a larger number of these types of candidates and a larger number of people willing to support them.
Personally, I think eventually our country will end up having a version of European Socialism you see in many countries. It may not happen in the next 5-10 years, but unless there are some major changes made it will happen.

As the pool of people earning less than the average wage grows. This is inevitable, America isn't immune.
Kind heart migration policies, will deter the lower paid from voting for a candidate. We're seeing this across Europe with the Policy of open borders.
I predict another Democrat President. If the House of Representatives vs Senate are dominated by Republicans. It will be another 8 years of stalemate and the US along with the West will suffer.
The biggest harm to the West has been manufacturing moving to the Third World.
These clearly show where our money has gone.
Even the EU can't stop that if we keep buying from the Third World. This is Foreign Aid in the tune of trillions per year. How has it effected the wealthy? How has it effected the security of the West?
