In terms of finance and communications, politics as usual--political candidates and narratives mandated by the parties' Ruling Elites and the MSM--is dead.
Hillary and Trump are symptoms of a fatal condition: politics as it has been practiced for 70 years is dead.
As my friend G.F.B. observed, the key development was not the nomination of insider-Hillary or outsider-Trump--it was the enormous success of Bernie Sanders' campaign, a campaign that arose outside a Democratic Party establishment that tried to suppress or destroy Sanders' campaign at every turn, a campaign funded not by the Goldman Sachs of the world that funded Hillary but by tens of thousands of small donations from the citizenry.
Who drew the mass crowds of enthusiastic supporters? Bernie, not Hillary. Who inspired thousands to donate small sums that quickly accumulated into millions of dollars? Bernie, not Hillary. Who won primary after primary despite a virtual Mainstream Media blackout and a Democratic Party establishment that relished plunging a poisoned blade into Bernie's campaign at every opportunity? Bernie Sanders, not Hillary.
