Why Did Hillary Lose?

There is no market for values. Every election anywhere in this populist world is on the way to prove it. Trump has almost no knowledge about many things including, economy, trade, international relations, laws, rules and regulations and so on. So it is clear that he will be dependent largely on his officials and senate rather than his personal wisdom and experience. OK let us not be so reactionary and wait and watch.


Now let us focus upon the reason behind his victory which are as follows:

1. The population of US was frustrated with the democrat government that could not satisfy a large section of the society. They were more outward looking and the US population considered Hillary as the part of same establishment. In short people were fed up of the current establishment.

2. The WikiLeaks report about Hillary and her infamous emails. Her hawkish approach towards other countries of the world. Her involvement in the "wars" that US waged on middle eastern countries like Iraq, Syria and Libya. This costed US a lot of money while US citizens were going jobless. Trump took an advantage of this.

3. Bernie sanders lost hope in between.

4. The economy of USA could not overcome the economic crisis after the collapse of Lehman brothers in 2007. This caused a great loss in jobs and it was later on complimented with global economic slowdown that still continues to persist. Multilateral Trade has slumped, Job losses can be seen on the surface today. The gap in the salary of a CEO and a clerk has drastically increased. The poor is getting poorer and rich is getting richer. This has created a frustration and wrath against the government.

5. The bigger section of the society of USA has increasingly been valueless, misogynistic, racist and economically, politically and socially frustrated. The reason is the "NEO-LIBERAL regime as a whole" which many of the Americans may not know, thanks to the wide spread mediocrity in the world and America. They may not agree with this but they must feel it and they are feeling it at present. "They also need to reconsider their education system."


PS: "Wrong" and "biased" Socio-economic political setup leads to frustration and frustration gives rise to a fascist leader not Bernie Sanders. The examples can be seen in post WW I Germany that nurtured Hitler, and at present it can be seen in countries like Philippines, Turkey and up to some extent in India (sorry if you mind but it is the fact, Indians were frustrated with congress government.)
