The answer to the globalism problem & wage stagnation is a sharp dose of populism. Sadly there is but 1 populist left in america: pat buchanon. Neither party comes even close to a populist platform. too busy taking that lobby money to do anything to upset the cash river that comes from the 1%.

Elizabeth Warren would make for a credible populist were she to run. Her positions and her history certainly fill the bill.
Unfortunately, her chances of ever getting into the White House are somewhere between slim and none.
