That's the kind of candidate that you get from closed primaries.    Neither Trump or Clinton came anywhere close to the support of 40% of eligible voters.*

When candidates or Presidents say they are talking to 'the people' they also better also mean the 43% that thought so little of them that they didn't even vote.     That should serve as a dose of humility to over inflated egos that are so common in political circles.
