In the end, the arrogance of the Bush and Clinton political machines did them both in. Thankfully so, for they were slowly dragging us down. Jeb and Hillary were the chosen candidates well before the election process started; they had all the money. Their arrogant sense of entitlement was their first step down to respective defeats. Amazing that the warning to guard against arrogance, old as human existence, went unheeded by both candidates. The media played a part. They promoted Jeb, for they felt he would lose to Hillary. He was pretty much a copy of her, with the great exception of being male. Women would vote for the woman, and not for the lightweight male copy. An easy win for Hillary was in the cards. Then along comes Trump. Abandoned by his own party, and essentially running against Republican and Democrat elites too arrogant to understand what was occurring, Trump was different. Jeb and Hillary’s nightmare, the outsider tough enough to endure, had arrived. They lost and the political machines that fostered their careers are no longer relevant. That is refreshing, and Trump has started to rejuvenate the political process of compromise that has been absent far too long. To those who supported Trump, this is an especially poignant Thanksgiving. To those who supported Hillary or Jeb, a little less arrogance can only be a blessing. The outsider will continue to surprise. Exciting times lie ahead.
