Summary
In this email chain dated October 9, 2016, Gianni Serazzi shares analysis with Jeffrey E. about growing populist sentiment in Europe and its potential parallels in the United States. Serazzi expresses concern about rising inequality driving voters toward anti-establishment candidates and suggests Hillary Clinton could address these concerns by emphasizing Senate elections and meaningful change.

She could acknowledge that sheunderstands that people want change, and ask for a clear majority in the senate thinking abou that instead ofpresidential elections. Then if she does bad in 4 years she is out, but she could make the public understandthat senate is key to show what a president can do.But again, I know 0.001% of what you or them understands about politics, I am however worried that europeis just 5 or 10 years ahead on this trend compared to the US in anti-establishment feelings and I have seenwith friends how irrational and influenceable masses can become in voting when they are frustrated (Hitlerwas elected after all...)Hope to see you soon!!!please noteThe information contained in this communication isconfidential, may be attorney-client privileged, mayconstitute inside information, and is intended only forthe use of the addressee.
