This is all about the motivations and frustrations of the American populace, and in particular their willingness to blow their political system up. Trump is just the vehicle for that. It's unprecedented.
Bernie could have beaten Trump, largely because he would have blown things up too, just in a different (and much more respectful and intelligent) way.

It's also about the media. They let Trump get away with all the awful things he said and did. They normalized the hatred and the vitriol and the violence, while repeatedly attacking Clinton for emails, all while ignoring that Trump is literally going on trail for fraud before the end of the calendar year. And until she backed out because of death threats, he was going to also go on trial for raping a 13 year old girl.
But they ignored all of that in favor of handling of emails.
