The tan suit

Obama was once criticized for wearing a tan suit by Fox News which showed to what extent US media had already degraded into the frivolous. 

The battle lines had been drawn and everything was on the table for an uppity black president who needed a dose of humility. 

The failure of the Obama administration's centrist approach in delivering for a dwindling middle class is what brought the nation Trumpism. The banks and trading firms were rescued after the 2008 crash and they in turn continued their self-interested ways having learned nothing. 

Now it was time to let a reality show host and dodgy businessman have a turn. Many Obama voters turned to Trump to save them which was a spectacular if well-intended miscalculation. 

After this latest blue wave, the democratic party has now one more chance to deliver for people who desperately need economic relief. If they drop the baton here, there may be no rescuing either party and the people will then take to the streets as they did in Hungary. 

No amount of media bamboozle from the corporate media will work on people who have clearly had enough of it.
