    Yes, the populist vote can be the most volatile because it is the result of a pent up frustration by being ignored. It provides a sense of mandate to an angry electorate.

      What they don't realize is they will still be ignored and just get tossed a crumb or two when things get close to the breaking point.

      whether their crucial lessons are learned — truly internalized — or ignored in favor of self-exonerating campaigns to blame everyone else.

      I'm not holding my breath. It's been my observation that nothing changes,and the things the 99% want are never discussed by any party.

        I feel the same way, unfortunately. Maybe, just maybe this guy is headstrong enough to unclog the logjam in Washington. Any movement at this point would be an improvement to the status quo. It may galvanize good people to start acting responsibly. I don't know. This is a real outsider at the helm.
