figures that comes along periodically in american politics and exploits right-wing populism, charles kaufman, george wallace, joe mccarthy. these figures all attractive and mass folly. they were not able to take a political party or become president, but they were hugely influential in tapping into something important. but in the long run, i think obama is right that the country is moving in a different direction. it is demographically moving in a different direction. and i think like a six digit or 10000 years from now obama is ideas will be the ones that people admire and teach and are part of our civic pantheon. i think trump will be a step backwards. he will be a pause in the story that we eventually moved past. >> host: if you talk to people who say they know trump and knowing well, the oc is much more pragmatic in practice than he was out on the campaign trail. do you think he will be tempted to look at some of these elements of the obama legacy and say for all these things i said on the campaign trail, there's some stuff it maybe i ought to hold onto? >> guest: clearly, it's happening
