“ Trump, in other words, has exposed the Democrats as hollow and ineffectual as much as he has proposed any viable alternative. ”

What alternative? I didn’t read alternatives identified in the article. If these folks are really upset about big banks and voted for Trump, they are truly delusional. The person who has concerns about being able to afford care for his health condition, but voted for Trump anyway speaks volumes. To me he is saying he would cut off his nose to spite his face.
