continuing to deny the local dynamics behind Trump's popularity. Populism is a major problem for a status quo candidate like Hillary Clinton.

The main problem? Hillary lacks the care, passion and authenticity needed to work with the middle class and below.

Where we need empathy, Hillary brings an arrogant bravado.
Where we need peace, Hillary brings threats of violence.
Where we need economic justice and opportunity, Hillary brings Wall Street banks, H1Bs and outsourcing.
Where we need new energy sources, Hillary brings fracking.

Hillary cannot not heal the nation. To do so, she would have to acknowledge that her polices and beliefs need to be reversed. She'll never agree to that. So she panders with phony half measures and micro solutions that barely nibble around the edges. "Everything is fine," she says.

In contrast, Trump correctly sees America as a boil ready to pop. He's selling a cure using his magic potion. People are so desperate for relief, they are putting cash on the table for a genuine bottle of Mr. Trump's Effervescent Bullshit.

He's become more than just a bigmouth, chicken in every pot populist ready to rescue the middle class and below with truck loads of problem recognition discarded from the Democratic Party. He's a front runner to win the Republican primary.

Perhaps we should credit Debbie Wasserman Schultz for beating the populist imperative out of the rank and file. She's managed to stay on top and keep all the sugar on top as well.

Trump is promising barrels of sugar. Hillary is promising barrels of jobs to Asia.

There's no way she can win the general election with a platform like that.
