Voters want candidates that are outsiders?

I heard this when bush w - aka shrub - was running. How was he an outsider? His father was president. he was governor of Texas. His brother was the thief in florida. And yet voters fell for it, discussed it, and reporters rarely brought out the obvious.

How is trump an outside. He's been involved in politics in one way or another for his whole life.

But, if not him, they feel Trump is less establishment than Clinton.

It's pretty hard to argue otherwise.

Clinton draws her strength from voters less concerned about establishment politics.

Pretty straight-forward, if you ask me. And a trend unlikely to change. This is why Sanders Dems have been warning against Clinton.
