drawing in leftists and people of all demographics and backgrounds. Once they lose trust in a system they believe is rigged by powerful elites, it's easy to shift who the elites are who they blame for things.

She was angry that the media, etc stole the nomination from Bernie and this caused her anger. Always looking to blame others is a large part of the psyche of the angry and the gullible.

If she had been a grandfather clock, the pendulum would have swung so widely that it would have totally busted its casing. It just defies all logic. How do you go from being a left wing Democrat to believing that they're satanic baby eating pedophiles???
