Angry populist campaigns come down to us vs them. Problem is that it becomes a vicious cycle when there are whole segments of the electorate about whom there was very little effort made to learn. Message falls flat, gets rejected, those not getting on board get deemed not us but them. So we get crap like low information voters, Confederacy, Stockholm Syndrome, we didn't try to win those states, no Internet, etc.

A lot of noise has been made about how it's a matter of people not getting to know the candidate. People know who the candidate is. The problem is that the candidate never bothered to get to know who the voters were.

Him trying to work the tables at a church in South Carolina instead of sitting down and engaging is really quite the microcosm of the campaign. Listening is one of the most underrated political skills.
