Is May's fate to be Hillary?
The question that has been nagging at me is whether Corbyn is the UK's Trump, or the anti-establishment underdog who seizes power when that very establishment sees that outcome both as terrible and highly unlikely. And then I thought that perhaps I am framing the question incorrectly. The more apt issue is whether Theresa May is Hillary Clinton - namely a professional, thoughtful candidate who fails to connect with important groups of voters. From the moment she took office last July, she seemed to have identified this danger - because her first act was to reach out to the voting group, those on lower incomes, largely white, who voted to leave the EU and for Trump in the US. And at the start of the election campaign, she seemed to have built a connection with them, through her emphasis on delivering an efficient Brexit and controlling immigration.
