Four years ago under the name VIguy007, I posted an Opinion Piece titled "For the first time in my life, I will be voting against a Republican candidate for president." It received 115,736 views on this site and 276 recommendations http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021135316

I say this only so that you know where I am coming from. For most of my life, I was an east coast moderate Rockefeller Republican. I am now a Democrat, but I see some things a little differently from most of you. In 1975 while a student at Columbia University I wrote a paper titled "Political Alienation in Contemporary America". Two of my professors expanded it into a book which was published by St Martin's Press. As far as I know, it is still the only empirical study of Political Alienation ever done. I have run 17 local political campaigns, often for the underdog, and won each one. That is why I feel that I had something useful to offer.

My first two suggestions are tactical, just a slight adjustment. The third deals the main attraction that Donald Trump offers, shaking up the government and making it more responsive to the people. Ending Political Alienation, which is something both Bernie and Trump supporters have in common. The fourth point is an easy to understand "bone" for the anti-war elements which she still has not been able to attract to her.
