The difference between traditional elites like Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is that Trump intuitively grasps the way things get perceived on the idiot box in houses and apartments across the country. Clinton and the corporate media pundit class see Trump's constant interruptions and interjections while others are speaking as rude and ridiculous. They're right that it's rude. But it's also incredibly effective.
How many times have you seen the president or some other politician say something, and you wanted to or actually did shout "liar!" or "wrong" at the TV? Trump does that for you. You can't help but empathize with him. Trump has revolutionized political discourse as radically as "cowardly" American colonists did when they shot from behind rocks and trees at British troops lined up in formation, the way armies were "supposed" to fight.
No matter what happens in November, the guerilla politics pioneered by Trump are here to stay.
