CLINTON'S LOSS, TRUMP'S WIN


The United States elected a populist last night. Democrats squandered their chance to nominate a populist to go head-to-head against Trump. The battle between the free market-winner-take-all approach of Trump and the democratic socialist approach of Bernie Sanders would have been the more just fight at this time in America.  At least then, the true sentiment of the American people, for better or for worse, could have been more honestly gauged. Instead, a milque-toast establishment insider with a bad reputation was rammed into position by DNC leadership. Rigged, indeed. It showed an arrogant sense of entitlement, one to deliver the first woman president. And it backfired. Big time. The one good outcome of this colossal failure of the DNC could be to question the value of backroom politics that caused the mismatch. It appears that Americans are no longer willing to accept nominees chosen by political insiders and the media.

That said, whether Trump’s leadership will see successes for the entire country, not just Wall Street and the wealthy, remains to be seen.
