Status quo

Come this November, the establishment will breathe a collective sigh of relief as Clinton moves into the White House and the power structure of big government, big business and big labor once again controls the country. The college educated, the middle managers, the professional like doctors, lawyers and engineers, the business executives, along with the wall street crowd and the wealthy will continue to see their standard of living rise while the blue collar folks will remain on the downward slide they have been on for 30 years. The brief hope they saw in Trump was dashed by his own ineptitude. The self-inflicted wounds caused by his lack of political correctness proved to be his undoing. Others like Kasich, Rubio or Jeb could have beaten Hilary but they too would have just continued the past. Hilary, the ultimate insider, was chosen over the outsider that the low and middle income groups thought might make a difference. No one will ever know if Trump could have changed things but there was at least a chance and now that is gone.
