I have often wondered who arranged for the Trumpster to have the hundreds of millions of dollars of free air time he got during the election cycle. As of now I'm guessing that Hillary was the candidate favored by "intelligence establishment" and the neocons, and Trump was the candidate of the old line military industrial complex.

I agree with many of the points made in this article, but it could be that the author is underestimating the Trumpster.

The game is not over yet, and Trump has some pretty potent arrows in his quiver. Hillary's email debacle, the Awan brothers blackberry scandal, and the Clinton foundation.

Apparently this is a conflict between two wealthy and powerful factions, neither of which has an excess of brain cells to rub together. Personally, I wouldn't bet my money on either of these factions surviving the coming crisis.
