Hartmann; you've got the question wrong. There is no such thing as democracy in the US; just listen to your guest Greg Palast when he discusses how both sides of politics screw the people and intentionally corrupt elections. Just listen to Jimmy Carter when he tells you, "The US is an Oligarchy". Hartmann, your question should have been, "Can the Democratic Party Survive After Trump?" Without a boogeyman, some of the more intelligent liberal rubes may start directing their attention to the corruption of the Democratic Party itself. You know; those dangerous individuals who may have asked to see the content of the Podesta emails; they could really screw up future plans of the DNC and Democratic Party to screw their constituents.
The question you should be asking is, “What is the next deceptive scam to be used by the Democratic Establishment.” Now Trump is exiting stage right and "Russiagate" was a complete flop, but it did work to label both Jill Stein and Sanders as traitors when the mainstream media called them "Russian Assets". And throughout history, the oligarchs have pushed propaganda down the throats of their gullible rubes to either distract or convince these poor cretins to believe the lies “their” government and intelligence agencies tell them. If you want an interesting piece of history; even much of the Cold War was a scam. If you read Princeton history Professor, Kevin M Kruse's book, "One Nation Under God: How Corporate America Invented Christian America", you will see the oligarchs feared Washington (Eisenhower) much more than they feared the Soviets. Yes, the oligarchs feared the president who warned the people of the threat of the oligarchs' "Military Industrial Complex" in his outgoing speech, far more than the fabricated Soviet threat. This so easily explains the inverted "Missile Gap" and so much more.
So the big question isn't about the convenient fool Trump; it's about what scam will the Democratic Establishment create ow that Trump is dwindling to induce fear into its gullible, ignorant, and yet receptive rubes; rubes ready and receptive for their next round of brainwashing? And keep them running back to the bosom of covert treachery – the Democratic Establishment.
And remember Hartmann, you even interviewed Professor Kevin M Kruse on you show once, but sadly (or conveniently) you asked him all the wrong questions. When you select a guest that could spill the beans on the farce of US democracy, the crimes of Empire, and especially the treachery of the Democratic Party, you tend to have a preplanned avoidance strategy in place before you start the interview.
