16. Vapid Centrism is the "establishment"

While Hillary clings to
vapid centrism, her positions
make outsiders such as Rand, Cruz
etc seem more like outsiders.

The net effect being voters
tired of unresponsive Federal
governance will gravitate towards
candidates that buck the status quo.

IOW, vapid centrism makes radical
candidates more attractive
to disenfranchised voters.

Hillary is inadvertently giving
life to radical right-winger campaigns.
