Political Crossfire Forums

I suspect many of us at this forum have a fairly clear picture of the how/why for the confounding rise of Trump, but I came across this article on The Guardian that spelled it out at length (it's not a short article). I came across this article since the writer is a Dallas author who's been penning a few pieces in the Guardian this political season.

I thought it was very well researched, especially when applied to the context of the last 50 years or so.

People fed up with status quo corruption = the Donald phenomenon.

While You-Know-Who is probably more "corrupt" than anyone else in the race. Let's see:

- gamed the bankruptcy system to cancel debt
- nepotism
- breach of contract
- bribing public officials

Hillary Clinton is easily more corrupt than Trump, by a long shot. She is probably the single most corrupt candidate in thirty years.

I thought the article was quite good, but I guess you'll just have to take my word for it.
