The biggest problem with Trump is that he was really too naive about the corruption to ever have a chance at doing anything about it. I hope he finally realizes it now, but probably not. Anyone trying to drain the swamp must immediately fire every single person from Washington DC, and every single person who is a career politician or bureaucrat. Essentially, you have to fire EVERYONE and start over. Furthermore, you first have to fire the people who will immediately corrupt all the new people you would bring in.

I actually don't think Trump was that naive about the corruption. I think Trump tried enlist the GOPe with him. Trump appointed a lot of establishment picks because he knew if he didn't he would be destroyed by the uniparty before he could help the American people. Trump accomplished an amazing amount and a lot of what he accomplished were things the GOPe nominally supports (tax and regulation cuts, rebuilding military ect...)
Where I think Trump may have been somewhat naive is he though the GOPe would support him more as he was immensely popular and strengthened the republican party. I do think he underestimated how traitorous these swamp creatures are and how they were not simply interested in money (raffensburger in georgia is a good example).
She knows she will never be even one of the top 3 populist candidates, the other side was available
