The majority of white America, and white Britain fell under a clever hypnotic ruse by the ultra-elite/Russian-funded establishment. It played on the fear of the white people and or simply gave a simple message that it would be better for them.What specific assertion of the article was wrong and why? Simply bashing Trump is a very non-responsive response and explains nothing.

“Isn’t it time to take back control?"
"Make America, Great Again"
As if Britain had lost control or America had lost its greatness. High majority (>60%) of the decision for Trump or Brexit came from this. The ability to gain control or to renew greatness. Except, it was all built on fabrications and lies.
I think the article is wrong.
The campaign of Donald John Trump was built upon Misogyny, Racism, Anti-semiticism, Cronyism, Lying... it was all ignored by would you kindly make america great again?
There were no valid points from the article. It mostly regurgitated blatant lies and is rambling that makes no sense.Ok you did not read the article. None of what you said above has a anything to do with the points made in the article. I would like your perspective on the points MADE IN THE ARTICLE.
You have simply bought into the spin, there was nothing corrupt or crooked about them.

Hillary Clinton said:Don’t get complacent. Don’t see the latest outrageous, offensive, inappropriate comment [from Trump] and think, “Well, he’s done this time.” We are living in a volatile political environment. You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people, now 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks, they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America. …
But that other basket of people are people who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures. And they’re just desperate for change. It doesn’t really even matter where it comes from. They don’t buy everything he says, but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different. They won’t wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroin, feel like they’re in a dead end. Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well.
^ You talk as if Trump did not provide the fodder.
Clinton herself was acutely aware of the pain of everyday folks. It is right there in her infamous "The Deplorable" speech. Trump campaign exploited it out of context and the press which is supposed to be in Clinton's tank did not report it correctly, and I assume a lot of folks here probably did not pay attention to it other than parroting "the deplorable" joke.
There. (make sure to read below the fold) She talks exactly about what pundits like Glen Greenwald is now accusing her of neglecting. It is a shame how misunderstood this woman is in American politics.
I've been saying this for a while now and it's why I've said she was a horrible politician. Any decent politician would have been able to use her experience and qualifications as a means to get elected. But she isn't a natural politician and she's not good at connecting with large swaths of people at a time despite being able to connect with people in person on a personal level.
In my opinion she almost ran a good campaign. She didn't take attacks personal, she effectively portrayed her opponent as easily provoked, she looked presidential, she had well thought out plans. Where she failed though, she didn't have a solid bumper sticker message that resonated, she didn't articulate her plans at the national level, or maybe rather she didn't keep driving her plans home, she focused more on trumps negatives rather than focusing on her positives.

Scared white populace? LMAO. Millions of minorities who voted for obama voted Trump, including 35% of the latino vote. Go back to your cave and spew more "omg Russia!" FUD.There were no valid points from the article. It mostly regurgitated blatant lies and is rambling that makes no sense.
The brexit vote and Trump vote comes from a scared white populace. That are constantly being told that their decision does not matter. That the world is corrupt/evil/bad place and you should isolate yourself. It is found upon a sham, that implies the people are losing their control or losing greatness to a hemorrhaging diverse population.
- Immigration is wiping out the white populace be afraid, your time is with the Neanderthals, white man, away with thee! (mostly, in maine)
- Immigration is bringing in criminals rather than people looking for a greater life that isn't a warzone.
- Once out of an Alliance that is increasing refugee and war happy, there will no longer be wars.
- Down with the establishment, long live the establishment!
- Women are superior to men, and they are taking good jobs for men!
The message they are remembered by is fine. Everything else that is not fine is ignored. Upon faith that they will regain control or become great again. There is no proof that a criminal like Trump who gets away with not paying his employees(contract), frauding people in a fake university. Can or will actually give you more control and more greatness. The same goes for the EU.Leave/Brexit in fact removing your access means a loss of control.
Hillary Clinton private and public took a different road than above. "Stronger, Together" was the motive. Unification is better than stratification. Everyone then was like woah wait, nah gurl you a criminal. Look at all these conspiracy theories, u totally criminal & nasty. Emails, emails, emails which shown nothing criminal, but the population is like ALEX JONES says this a crime, thus it issssss...
BS they didn't. Did you even read www.mostdamagingwikileaks.com ?I will agree with ivwshane here. I don't think the leaks showed us anything we didn't already know. What it did was confirm what we already knew about politics. That's bad in an anti-establishment environment. We saw the sausage being made, and it wasn't pretty. Collusion for favorable press, back room deals. All the things people hate about politicians was laid bare, and it pointed at Hillary and her political machine.
There was no smoking gun, but it proved that she was just more of the same beltway scum that people are tired of.
He did and in hindsight it was masterful. He said things to the point that nobody dug up that pic of him holding up an LGBT flag. That would have sunk his chances. Instead of anyone reviewing his actual history and all the liberal things he's said over the years he used this shock technique to get the media to focus on it and reel his base in for him.
Pretty darn clever. He was a media insider he knew how it works. He used them to get his "message" out. It's just hilarious how stupid the MSM and it's watchers are.
But that is a reason NOT to nominate her, or a reason to discourage her run. Not an explanation as to why her campaign was not good enough.I've been saying this for a while now and it's why I've said she was a horrible politician. Any decent politician would have been able to use her experience and qualifications as a means to get elected.

I think we agree more than disagree. I do think, in retrospect, Bernie might have been a better candidate this cycle. But that is just that. A wishful thinking, what if's, Coulda-shoulda-woulda. I did think she was well qualified for the job and she would be a better president than most GOP candidates, and that was good enough for me to accept her nomination. I also think she ran a fantastic campaign. Too calibrated and scripted for some, but that would be the case for any female candidate for some time to come. I thought the country was ready. (Apparently not)In my opinion she almost ran a good campaign. She didn't take attacks personal, she effectively portrayed her opponent as easily provoked, she looked presidential, she had well thought out plans.

Scott Adams talks about how he did this. You should read his blog (Dilbert author).
I thought DJT was a buffoon at first, but no he isn't a buffoon at all.
Once you understand what Trump is doing, and you understand that a 70 year old guy doesn't radically change from philosophies he has held his entire life, you can understand what he is doing. DJT is an anti-globalist, pro-America liberal.
Scott considers him to be the best "Persuader" on the planet. Obama and Clinton both used persuasion techniques in their campaigns, hiring consultants for this.
Trump doesn't need a consultant.
Here's one example, from Scott's blog :
"8. Pacing and Leading: When normal politicians change their minds we label it flip-flopping or – more kindly – “evolving” in their thinking. When a Master Persuader does it, you are seeing pacing and leading, which is a major tool of persuasion. Pacing involves matching people – in this case emotionally – and later using that bond to lead them. We see Trump doing this often.
a. Trump paced his base by saying he would deport 11 million undocumented immigrants. Once he had his base on his side emotionally, he led to them to his current policy of deporting only the people who committed crimes while here. Have you heard any Trump supporters complain about it lately?
b. Trump paced his base by saying he would ban all Muslim immigration to stop terrorist infiltration. Once he had them on his side emotionally, he led them first to a ban on specific problem countries, and then again to “extreme vetting,” which is a lot like Clinton’s plan. Trump supporters followed, and you don’t hear them complaining.
c. Early in the primaries Trump paced the racists in the Republican party by not disavowing them as clearly and as loudly as even the racists thought he would. Since then he has led Republicans to think that some form of a “New Deal” for African-Americans might be worth a look.
d. At the Republican National Convention, Trump used his emotional connection to his supporters to declare he was the strongest voice to protect the LGBTQ community. Republicans stood and cheered. "
Something I should point out --
This stuff of having a GOP candidate get up in front of the RNC convention and say he wil lprotect LGBTQs would never have happened with any other GOP candidate.
Standing there waving a gay pride flag would also never have happened with any other GOP candidate.
Think about that.
Bernie is a mensch, with far more personality and grit than Hillary, but his politics were just too far from the mainstream. Still, his nomination would have been far more interesting than what we got, imo....Bernie might have been a better candidate this cycle...
