The way the DNC fucked Bernie in 2016 has solidified for me that either party will do whatever they must to maintain the status quo. I'm honestly surprised trump ever managed to get through, given how much of a wild card he is.
The democrats want to lose the election.

I'd normally just write off wild claims like this, but it fits too well. If you have noticed and dislike the culture wars, you probably want to take a few minutes to watch this.

I sometimes wonder if he is merely the illusion of a wildcard to capture that group of voters before a genuine outsider showed up and caused the RNC trouble. He accomplished a big fat 0 that wasn't already on the agenda of old guard republicans and I can't recall him making any real effort on any of his wilder platform points.
