Grey Champions and the Election of 2016
#4
On the old forum Kinser mentioned that Trump represents the Jacksonian tradition. I think on the flip side Sanders is a GC figure for both the working class Left-Populist tradition, which included movements like the old Minnesota Farmer-Labor Party, and the educated middle class Progressive tradition. I can definitely see a lot of Minnesota's great Farmer-Labor governor Floyd Olson, who famously said that the "present form of government can go straight to Hell", in Bernie's movement.
