He HAS actually been saying it for a year too. I was not surprised either, I've met too many ordinary Americans who do not trust their own government & want to shake it up. although "Left & Right" doesn't work with Americans... "Liberal" & "Populist" are better tags and applies to their media too.

He missed one major point though.... Trump cruised through the nomination process getting stronger at each stage, whereas Clinton was seriously damaged by Sanders because he showed how shallow, robotic & devoid of substance she was. Her sense of entitlement alienated a lot of people.

Sanders would have presented a viable alternative which had a much broader appeal to voters, it would have nullified Trumps "outsider" claim for starters and highlight his privileged status, which she could never do.

Clinton & the Democrats got what they deserved. She has invested years in building up influential support and a cohort of the party elite... it gets you nominated, but won't translate into votes without an inspirational candidate (compare & contrast with the very popular Michelle Obama)...

...like it or not, Trump inspired people... in fact, Trump is not even a natural Republican and was completely dismissive of his parties elite... and hey-ho it worked well for him... "free market" is a sacred-cow to them, not protectionism, public-spending on infrastructure or building walls... although they may yet have the last laugh when he tries to get his policies through both houses.

This bloke is obviously left wing. The best message from video (as he even admits) is that the left have lost the art and won't debate. They just sling insults and claim offence.

A significant proportion of the electorate who rejected Hillary and voted for Trump this time, were the very same people that also voted for Obama in the last two elections... they have valid grounds for resenting being labelled as racist.

I see Hillary is throwing blame at the FBI Chief... well the timing of the last investigation definitely did no harm to Trump...

..but c'mon, she needs to take responsibility for her carelessness, she is surrounded by advisers and insiders... which one of them thought using her private email server for government business was a good idea in the first place... it just endorses a view that she is part of a political elite that believe they are untouchable and normal rules don't apply to them..? All that baggage, she should never have been the Democrat candidate.

Blimey, she couldn't even land a punch on Trump over his sexism & misogynist attitudes (which the alt-right lapped up for its anti political-correctness subtext)... mainly cos her old boy "did not have sex with that women"... but definitely indulged in a lot of other fun things with her while in public office. I'm surprised that no-one has said to Hillary, "close but no cigar" or asked her if Bill tried to cheer her up by "splashing out on a new dress"

However Trump's attack on his female accusers could yet lead to impeachment, he called them all liars and said he'd take them to court... he will try and wriggle out of it... but everyone knows what he said and what he denied...!
