I'll be interested to see what they want to rebrand into, they aren't typically known to be the empathetic party.
Maybe they'll try and go back to their Reagan idolatry while espousing the virtues of family values once again, but people are going to notice the orange cheetos stain on their fingers and pant legs.

It is already in the works. That is why Paul Ryan retired. Because he wants to put enough distance between himself and Trump that he can run in 2024 and not be stained with the scarlet letter of Trump, Trumpism, and Trumpers.
Talk about unpopular.

Obama pushed socialised medicine, killed Bin Laden increased job growth, pushed for gun control (which he failed imo) he was awesome you idiot
Reality:
The US already had socialized medicine before Obama but we didn't get a true universal healthcare option under Obama and Obama caved to the insurance companies and they were not forced to compete because Obama is just another corrupt corporatist.
He was president when Seal Team 6 killed Bin Laden and he authorized the assassination, yes. He gets credit for that. How much involvement did Obama have in Operation Neptune Spear, though? What did he really do?
He hindered job growth and went with the corrupt corporate bailouts. Job growth was very slow under his presidency compared to what it should have been compared to other recessions.
Pushing for more gun control is retarded.
He was not awesome. He was a neo-liberal who was a giant corporatist. He was a warmongerer. He expanded the spying on the American people programs. And he killed thousands of innocent brown people in his corrupt foreign wars. He was a monstrous giant piece of shit.
Stop sucking Obama's dick: he was a shitty president.

A matter of opinion. I think Obama will be more memorable.
Remember when Breitbart promised he had proof positive that the birther conspiracies were true, and was going to publish them? And then had a heart attack before he could?

In 100 years Trump will be one of those presidents that no one remembers. Obama will be remembered obviously. I think George W Bush will as well just because he was president during 9/11 and handled that well initially. Clinton will probably not be remembered that well either.
You're usually the one who makes the best points when you're serious. You make points that have stuck with me for years and are still right.
But this is one of the times I don't think you'll get it right. I think we'll be covering this scenario in our history classes for years due to how extreme everything got in the information age. No other president in US History has experienced such pervasive negative press coverage: not even close. When 99%+ of your news coverage is negative during some months, there's something going on with your press when about 50% of your population approves of that politician.
This might go down in history as the turning point where the people and the MSM diverged so severely that the relationship became antagonistic (it has). People will look to Trump as the polarizing figure that took a stand against the politically correct bastions of the MSM and basically shat all over it like a monkey throwing a tantrum.
If...if only we had a more mature, charismatic, and well spoken person in office doing this same exact thing.
We still talk about Reagan to this day. Trump is far more widely spoken about and his fanatics are the most extreme I've ever seen or read about in all of US History. He's like Reagan on steroids if the steroids were made of McDonald's cheeseburgers.
