Well Greg....in many cases it appears that Mr Trump is merely the vehicle to achieve the change that the jobless unrepresented people of blue collar America want. That huge section of US society was ignored by the last Democratic administration and suffered the consequences.
When a populist like Mr Sanders appeared on the centre left, he was quickly hog tied by the Party hierarchy, which proved to be another nail in the coffin of so called liberalism......many people decided that it was a sham, a smokescreen to mask the misdeeds of the political establishment. The Corporatists, fronted by the Clinton Dynasty and the Clinton Foundation, supported by money from regimes which export terrorism even to the US.
