The rise of Donald Trump, in a single chart

An old post at The Gormogons discusses a poll from 2014 - before Donald Trump - that explains pretty much everything you need to know to understand why he won the 2016 election:

The Czar of Muscovy explains the poll:

Yes, George W. Bush, the worstest, most awfully unpleasant president ever…no longer holds the title. That’s right! Barack H. Obama has now taken the mantle as the worst president ever.

In 2014, both George W. Bush and Barack Obama were seen as failed Presidents.  Both represented the establishment party position which is essentially the same with window dressing to make them look like two parties rather than one.  Extrapolating to 2016, we can see how Jeb Bush didn't have a chance (too closely linked to his brother), why Hillary lost (too closely linked to Obama), and why Creepy Joe Biden's campaign is Dead Campaign Walking.
