Holt describes how just prior to the U.S. war to prevent separation,
Americans, particularly Southern Americans, had lost all confidence in
the current political system because the existing parties did not
represent the people but instead represented the agricultural
aristocracy, big business and the banksters.

I know it’s still early, but it’s beginning to appear this election cycle that conventional wisdom may not hold.
The
pundit class and the establishment politicians inhabiting the insular
bubble that is the District of Criminals are flummoxed. They can’t
fathom why the hoi polloi will not fall in line behind
establishment-approved candidates (and there are several, but
particularly they are Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton). Some pundits are
even offering to turn in their “pundit license.”
For example, The
Washington Post’s Charles Lane told Brett Baier on Fox News’ Special
Report last week: “I think I’m going to have to turn in my pundit’s
license because — or somebody is going to revoke it because I really
can’t analyze this phenomenon. We’re living through one of the
strangest, most — if not strange, one of the most puzzling moments in
politics that I can remember.”
