While I am not a trump supporter OP's comment really makes sense.

And the funniest thing here is people should be celebrating this win becuase the way I see it, this is a win for democracy. The DNC took away the win from someone who the people wanted, they worked against the people and put someone up who the people did not trust or agree with. And at the end of the day the person the people trusted more won.

I might not agree with trump on everything especially his racist comments, but I do agree with an underdog powered by the people.

Bernie lost the primary fair and square. It wasn't a few thousand vote difference it was millions. Bernie was himself flawed since he had nothing to offer other than his tired 'banks are bad' speech. That's why he lost.

Blaming the DNC is just being intellectually lazy. The real issue is that there are a large group of the community who aren't benefiting from prosperity. And they turned out in droves. Democrats need to have an answer to their concerns.

Bernie lost the primary fair and square. He was basically an unknown when he started. More Dems voted for Hillary. I voted for Bernie. He did a lot better than I ever thought he would. He was a progressive in a center left party.

Or Trump won because he used the old populist/xenophobic playbook promising simplistic solutions, that right-wing populist politicians have been peddling for decades.
