I like bumper sticker and root cause perspectives, and I see that as - the American people are angry and know they're getting hosed by DC. Thus anti-establishment was foremost in the vote for 2016. Hillary was on the national stage since before perhaps 2/3 of all voters were alive and those of us old enough have had decades to formulate an opinion of her. Mine is that shes a corrupt person that can masterfully play a corrupt system and has personally profited at an unseemly level as a result of her public service. And the DNC Establishment really had a lot of optics that appeared to unfairly tilt the playing field in favor of the establishment.
America well knows our politicians represent those that bribe them, not those that vote for them.
