I have been a little wary of Sanders. I long thought the Democratic Party was behind the Republicans in rejecting their Establishment, but it is looking less so. If the current trend follows through, it sets up a general election between the extremes. I doubt either core will be able to stand the other’s candidate. There is the risk that Trump might get four more years to mess up the country as a result.

But I think Trump has already blown it. The middle of the road has already got sick of their protest vote, and the see saw has been flipped. In 2016 neither party was allowed to put an establishment candidate in. They got the wrong pretend-to-be-an-outsider, the world’s biggest alligator tasked to drain the swamp. This ought to be fairly obvious at this point.

The question remains whether Sanders is the right pretend-to-be-an-outsider.
