The American public is sick of it. And they're even more sick of the so called new normal.

Hence, a large proportion of the electorate, Democrats and Republicans both, will eagerly welcome anyone - anyone - who can even half convincingly offer up a better solution.

That's why Trump (of all people) has caught fire and that's also why Sanders is steadily gaining on Hillary.

This is going to be an interesting election.
