That's one way it might play out.

Another way is that Trump turns out to be a real populist and forces the Republican Party to the left, while the defeat of Hillary Clinton empowers the Bernie Sanders people to force the Democrats to the left.

Either way, I see Trump's win over Clinton to ultimately be a win for the left.
