An energetic (and charismatic) candidate went out there and actually, you know, talked to people. And he found out that it's very difficult to live with the nonstop increases in costs of living.

Who could have foreseen this would resonate?

Everyone. It was everyone. How many years have we been having this discussion?

By the time the arthritic usual powers saw what was happening, it was too late to pivot. Their sclerotic nature disallowed it.

And let me just say this. A man who resigned for sexual harassment being pushed at the last minute by Bill Clinton was a look and a half. Where in the 1990s did these two men think they were still living?
