This election was always going to be all about populism.
That die was cast when the two polar opposite ends of our political spectrum (the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street) agreed on one and ONLY one thing.
DO NOT bail out the Wall Street banks with taxpayer money!
The Beltway elites did it anyway. You just knew that once an incumbent was not on the ticket all hell was gonna break loose.
So it’s a choice between Trump’s right-leaning populism and Bernie’s populist socialism. Going back to conservatism as we know it is NOT an option. The bridge has been burnt with too many voters. The GOP had three decades, and couldn’t close the sale.
They...never...even...tried.
