Here it's Trump and Sanders, symptoms that the old ways of thinking in the halls of power are being firmly rejected. Business as usual is killing us here as well as it is in the UK. The "good poodle" Blair Labourites were just as toxic as the Tories and people recognize that and the rise of Corbyn is the result.

Eventually, Corbyn will be unseated, preferably by someone without his goofy baggage. However, for the time being, his party needs to regard him as what he is: a symptom of a disease that could prove fatal to Labour.
