“OK say it does happen. What one(or two, three) candidates becomes the NEW populist Trump?”
NONE THEM, AND HERE’S WHY;

From time to time, someone invents an excellent wheel. Once invented, it’s hard to better the product, and so instead of a ’wheel’ invented by me, I offer one by a Freeper named M1911A1.
With all credit for writing this going to Freeper M1911A1, here is your answer:
At this point, I’d hardly care if in 2014 Trump had come out in support of almost any liberal cause.
The republic is dying. The libs are killing it, but guess who helps them? That’s right, the “conservatives” of the GOP!
You want to despise Trump for a former stance on abortion, when, as a private citizen, he could do little about it except write checks to politicians. I’m wagering it wasn’t a hot button donor issue for a guy focused on his empire.
Well how ‘bout that “conservative” Mitch McConnell, a man who could actually do something about it...it’s his job to do something about it, he was given power to do something about it. He did something today, he declared it was “futility” to defund Planned Parenthood, and this is only the latest in a long, long, and shameful list of outrages that have been either condoned or conducted by him and the other GOPe oligarchs.
You may dislike Trump, but remember that Mitch hates you if you are conservative, as do his masters, the big donors to Super Pacs. They only care about staying in power and growing government, and they trot out a conservative dog and pony show every once in a while to keep us yokels in line.
They have been busy changing the rules to make sure they are there forever, and if they lose to a Democrat, it’s no big deal, because they ultimately don’t differ all that much on the big issues.
Trump may strike you as too liberal, a braggart, a phony, or refreshing. It doesn’t matter. Supporting anybody else at this point is asking for the entrenched uniparty to keep abusing you. Trump is the only way out of this abusive relationship that is going to put your freedom in the grave.
After he upsets that applecart, we can start looking for someone better, but if we say no thanks to Trump the GOPe will figure out ways to make sure that no more challenges like his are ever mounted.
There are no guarantees that Trump is the real deal, or that even if he is that he can fix the crooked system, but if he doesn’t get that chance it is guaranteed that the crooked system will fix it so us annoying voters are even more irrelevant than we are now.
Trump has awoken them to the fact that even us dullards will only take so much, and once Trump exposes them, if they defeat Trump they won’t even have to put on the dog and pony show anymore.
Oh please. GOOD GRIEF, WHO WRITES THIS TRIPE?
It was well published that Trump consulted Bill Clinton before running.
You think Trump is going to fix your problems? Dream on.
He is just doing what every bad politician does... Pandering to you and lying to your face.
If you think the current clown in office is bad, put Trump in. He will make him look like a Saint.
What was hit he was contemplating in his 2000 book? He was gong to gut our military in Europe by $50,000,000 and use the money to fund a massive federally funded school building program.
Oh boy.
