Imo when people use the argument that everyone is stupid, they need to look and consider more closely why people think the way they do. We've had many successful people from both sides, it's not like inherently one side knows things and the other doesn't. We're all born the same.

The Brexit referendum only had 2 options so the only protest option was Leave. Presidential elections have more than 2 options so someone protesting Hillary Clinton doesn't have to vote Trump.

doesn't matter what sanders supporters say, theirs is still bad politics and bad policy.
without the fractured media environment the establishment would be holding much better. it's guerrilla warfare vs regular army.

He had a much more conservative prediction about Hillary's win than most news networks, right? He was criticized for not throwing in with the 80-90% probability?

Yeah. But on the other hand, Trump.
