think otherwise. Between the Sanders supporters and the Trump supporters there are a hell of a lot of people against the Establishment. And as we watch the end game of capitalism we will see a repeat of what happened in the 1930's when things got tough in the USofA and Europe. The Center quickly becomes irrelevant. Some will turn to the Left like in the USofA and some will turn to the Right like Italy and Germany. Today the FDR Left is Sen Sanders and the fascist Right is Trump.

The Establishment of both Parties have alienated millions of their respective bases and are seeing some push back. A lot of push back. To ignore this may make it tough for Democrats in Nov.
