You must find the American political system very puzzling because this has been the platform of the majority of Republican politicians, at all levels since the Tea Party revolution. It's appeal has become so pervasive that we have people running for school board and mayor on the outsider ticket in liberal Portland. As long as a politician's existing job is one pay grade below the job they are seeking they don't try to bring experience to the table, they bring outsiderness, gonna smash some shit up! Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Carly Farino, Chris Christie, Ben Carson, Donald Trump and Rand Paul all tried to don the "outsider" mantle this election season. I'm sure a few of the other candidates from the republican primary whom I can no longer recall did as well. Hilary Clinton even took at stab at being an outsider because she is a woman. It is remarkable that Trump won the trust of the faithful and secured the primaries. He's also ran the table playing the outsider game. Other republicans set the table by playing a junior league version of outsider for most the last decade, he sat down to eat by playing it like a pro. He's a remarkable guy, I've often wondered the extent to which his communication is a result of forthought or if he has just found his niche.On a communications level, this presidential election remains one of the most fascinating things I have ever seen. It’s almost indescribable – Donald Trump is running as an anti-establishment candidate in an established political party, with his primary message part of a direct attack on the very political establishment the Republican Party represents.
The bash the elites tactic to seem relatable is definitely more common in America however we now have this woman taking a stab at it to win the party leadership for the Conservatives. The Conservatives also tried it when Trudeau was running saying he was just some rich guy his whole life.
