    He beat an elderly, uninspiring, career politician

    He has not ever done this.

    In fact, since his 2016 fluke, his brand has been toxic and his candidates have consistently lost (as has he)

        She was not a “career politician” if you want that word to have any meaning. She was a civilian until like '98.

        She also wasn’t elderly or uninspiring.

            Maybe among the young and disconnected. The reason she lost in reality is that she was painted as a “corrupt politician” and tied to the Benghazi nothingburger while her opponent ran on populist anti-politician rhetoric

            The masses are dumb and fell for it.
