Whoever wins vote, Trumpism will leave its mark on the USWASHINGTON -- Even if, as most polls predict, he loses Tuesday's U.S. presidential election, Donald Trump's populist charge will leave its mark on the American body politic. But Trump has managed to craft his own political brand, building a movement among the party's disaffected rank and file. The maverick newcomer has even campaigned for paid parental leave, anathema to the small-government conservative right. "Basically, the Republican leadership hates Trump," Robert Shapiro, professor of political science at Columbia University, told AFP. "And what will also remain is the hate for the Democrats and Hillary Clinton and also the mainstream Republican Party."
