Why did so many establishment Democrats get this one wrong though? I’ll tell you exactly why. They were/are so in love with their technocratic elitist bullshit that they had no conception of how fed up most of this country is with them.

Hillary was the most establishment candidate possible running against a political outsider with attitude in a country full of people who have been routinely ignored for decades.

It sure wasn’t obvious to me that Trump couldn’t win. I remember every single clueless thing Hillary did in that campaign raising my concerns a little bit more. It became more and more obvious as the campaigns went on that Trump was a serious contender.

She and the rest of the establishment couldn’t see the threat because their egos got in the way, and I do blame them for that.
