Surely a factor, but in Oklahoma, same kind of results


Bernie won there too, with high majorities among the lower-educated and lower-paid voters. He got over half of the votes of people who described themselves as "conservative." Income inequality was the #1 issue to his voters.

No doubt there are plenty of ideological liberals voting for Bernie. But it seems he's also attractive to the have-nots who are not ideologically liberal, but feel the establishment doesn't care about them.

Given that Trump has no apparent ideology, it's not so surprising to see that in his case. A little more surprising to me to see it among the Democrats too.

If you add up the support for non-establishment candidates (Trump, Sanders and to a significant degree Cruz--as well as the less popular outsiders such as Carson), it greatly outnumbers what the establishment has been able to muster.
