Convention of States

This is a thoughtful article and America has most definitely entered an age of populism.

Populist reaction to government elitism may explain why Trump -- as a political outsider -- can say highly provocative things without suffering a loss of public support. We should also consider that Trump, as a media star, was likable on a social level, before he entered politics.

By contrast, Hillary represents government elitism at a time when it is dying. And among Hillary's staunchest political supporters, I wonder if anybody actually likes her. She seems like such an angry ratbag.

Bernie of course, is populist on the left-leaning side. But Bernie has the disadvantage of having never been anything but a politician. Because he's been running the Washington machine for decades (longer than many Bernie-bots have been alive) his populism is highly suspect. What can he point to, after all this time, as an example of his opposition to Washington-as-usual?

The dems need an outsider populist and all of their front-runners are Washington elitists.
I read the article but I am to stupid to understand it. But I do understand Donald Trump.(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)
