      Trump wasn't (just) a carnival barker in 2016. He was the spokesperson for anti-immigration sentiment and white identity politics in a Republican Party threatening to try and diversify. That was a substantive pitch, and it worked.

      If you're looking for the Trump in the Democratic field, don't look for the weird candidate (Williamson), look for the candidate who's saying what the base really wants said even as party elites try to suppress or abandon that sentiment.

          Warren's narrative is the most resonant. But I don't think party elites are trying to suppress her. I don't see the 1% vanity dem candidates getting the kind of attention Trump did.

          I don't think the party elites are trying to suppress the "We beat them without changing the system" sentiment

          No - because the base isn't the grassroots in either party. Trump won because of that fact. The base is the fanatics; the grassroots is the 99% nobodies who aren't active in politics until Election Day.

          Thank you. Mind blowing that seemingly no one in the political journalism/legislative bubble understands this... This is why every candidate panders to the fringes they hear loudly on Twitter.
