Letter: Political revolt?

A Signe Wilkinson cartoon showed Donald Trump being sworn in as president on his book The Art of the Deal with a quote from its pages: "I play to people's fantasies" (Friday). It might not be "people's fantasies" at work; it might be their frustration and anger with Washington.

Political revolt?

A Signe Wilkinson cartoon showed Donald Trump being sworn in as president on his book The Art of the Deal with a quote from its pages: "I play to people's fantasies" (Friday). It might not be "people's fantasies" at work; it might be their frustration and anger with Washington.

This campaign cycle is filled with the same rhetoric and the same promises of reform from the political establishment on both sides, except for two outsiders. Are folks supporting Trump or Bernie Sanders, or just the fact that they're outsiders?
