I agree with your picks.

But what we prefer does not matter in this diverse country. We are an elite. It is a hard thing to own.

Our candidates do not play well everywhere, even as some red states are shifting toward blue. Obama was a virtual outsider, just look at pictures of the old Senators.

There is a reason that relatively unknown southern Governors like Carter and Clinton followed GOP administrations.

Trump even received Democratic voters who were looking for a Washington outsider to "drain the swamp." They were THAT desperate for an outsider. Fools, with good intentions.
