So WAS this a repudiation of "politics as usual"?

The entire primary fiasco alone was enough to get their opponent elected. The point you made elsewhere about building from the local level on up is what needs to happen. That's where the Millennials can succeed. Get the Democratic Party re-established at the city, county, and state levels again. And become the party with good ideas and how to implement them. 

Unfortunately for Democrats, that process takes decades to build and, as a result, takes a massive commitment and patience. The only way a political party develops those traits is from political disaster such as Watergate. I'm not sure that this election qualifies (though it should, IMO).

This is a fundamental lesson in life. When one group tries to beat another group down, the second group arises stronger. That which doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.
