We've seen the same accusations against Corbyn in the UK. It's exactly the same playbook - he's sexist, he's anti-semitic, he supports terrorists.

It should be obvious by now that the last thing the establishment wants is a genuine anti-establishment candidate.

And also, that any candidate who wins cannot truly be anti-establishment.

If Trump was a genuine threat to the establishment, he'd never have had a prayer.

With Corbyn, I don't think anyone needs a "playbook" to be worried about him siding with anti-Semitic and terrorist-supporting figures, and for things like working for Press TV (Iranian government).

That's not anti-establishment, it's just aligning with a different kind of establishment (the ayatollas).
