Political hacks, machines, big money and back room deals, Rauch’s characterization of establishment politics, produced a Bush dynasty and an emerging Clinton dynasty. Thanks to primaries the sclerotic two-party establishment may have been purged forever by Trump and Sanders. In dismissing Bernie as a delusional outsider who does not know how to govern, Rauch displays his own ignorance and bombast. His fame as a writer is that of a provocateur.

They’re evil! The process is entirely corrupt! A system of primary elections will bring about the new millennium!”

Some time later….

“The system of primary elections is not offering me precisely the candidates I want to see! They’re evil! The process is entirely corrupt! A political establishment will bring about the new millennium!”

Rinse and repeat.
