Quick take: On the news, "post"-Trump

The news story right now is... that Trump is still the news story.  This is both perverse, and encouraging.  In 2009, when Barack Obama was inaugurated and Sarah Palin was no longer a candidate for the vice presidency, she struggled for relevance, eventually resorting to a reality tv show.  Donald Trump will have a much easier time maintaining an audience, but the iron law of time and attention is that they are finite.  It will become mathematically impossible for Trump to remain the story.

Except, unfortunately, for his core followers.  And they will remain dangerous.
