political establishment

WASHINGTON — Sen. Bernie Sanders, Ind-Vt., roused a crowd of hundreds of progressives running for political office—from county board to Congress—with a call to fight back against the political establishments of both parties.
“When we have the least-qualified president in our history and right-wing extremists in governors chairs, our job is to stand up, to fight back, to bring our brothers and sisters and friends and neighbors into the political process by providing hope,” he declared. “It is to transform America.”

Since the election of Donald Trump to the presidency in 2016, the collective media establishment and the related ranks of both liberal and establishment politicians have been united in an effort to try to rid themselves of him. For them, his election was an anomaly, a cursed one, that should have never happened.
