You brought up a valid 'check point', but I believe that Obama winning shows it's rigged for candidates with the corporate approved positions and connections.

Obama was probably new to the establishment as opposed to being outside of the establishment as he seemed to have no problem at all picking a great number of 'establishment' members to his team. I believe that he was mostly outside of the Hillary establishment than he was the establishment itself.

Good question by the way.
