I put it this way,

Trump exemplifies what can be wrong with people.

Clinton personifies everything that is wrong with US politics and the whole political system.

If somehow Trump finds a way to win this, it's not because a lot of people identify with him and his bombastic ways, its because they just want to blow up the way this thing has been for decades now. People hate whats happened in Washington no matter who/party affiliation has been in the White House.

It's a fascinating dichotomy when it comes to Trump and the average American voter.
the irony is even with voting Trump in the American people have actually done nothing against the establishment. With the GOP in charge of the house they will just ensure that party line items still go through but can block any craziness Trump tries. Even with the Republicans split between old school and Trumpers the democrats will have enough sway to stop Trump.

crazy guy in the lead but really the system isn't changing at all. If anything I predict Trump just becomes more institutionalized than breaking the political molds.
