6. 'Blame Bernie's supporters and say fuck em? Fuck the rust belt? Fuck whites people? '

there hasn't been a major political party created since the civil war. Countless multi-billion dollar companies have been created in the last 20 years. Trump beat those who out-spent him, and he broke almost all the rules

I still think the lynchpin of the Trump phenomenon, was the prospect of a 'Bush vs Clinton' race, early on. It threw both parties into a rabid 'anti-dynasty' mode. I really do think that if Jeb hadn't run, Hillary might have made it

if a populist party were created via social media, it could draw 1/4 of Democrats, 1/4 of Republicans, and 1/4 of independents overnight making it a peer player.

and if this party had the attitudes mentioned in the title of this post, it would be dead as a doornail, perhaps forever
