It's hard for me to imagine anyone who didn't already rise to prominence in the mass media environment of yesteryear to engage voters in the way Trump has.

In other words, I think Trump was able to succeed politically because he was "the guy from TV".

I don't think the current media environment is making more "guys from TV" (at least not with anywhere close to the status they had ~25 years ago).
