That’s it. And yet they didn’t mind a screeching Arkansas hack in a bad pantsuit being president. That was “classy” to them.
Those in power don't want the established order to be upset. They're too invested in it. The elites see the public as below them, and in 2016, like in most elections, they offered up what they thought of as a "choice", which is to say no choice at all, but maintenance of their power thru fear and division of the people. The elites fully expected the "choice" in 2016 would be between Clinton and Bush. Our very own version of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. A fake choice between two sides of the same coin.
It is almost obscene what the elite attempted to foist on the American people. Certainly on the Democrat side they succeeded by rigging the election so severely Clinton could not lose. Between their pre-weighted super-delegates (those who paid the biggest "contribution") to the duplicate poling places for Clinton to help re-weight the vote tally in states like NY, they did everything they could to turn the election process into a sham in representational government. Both the Dems and Republicans are guilty of this, putting their power and control over the interests of the people. It's just by some miracle Trump, by playing an unpredictable and unconventional game, broke thru and destroyed Bush.
