Trump being the GOP candidate was the Americans way of giving the finger to the GOP establishment. Sent a clear "wake up and change" message.
Bernie was pretty successful too. Given the lack of support by his own party. Every poll on social issues shows that Americans are much more progressive than the establishment wants them to be.
In the case of Trump there's a lot of resentment in the mix also. He never presented anything but attack, attack, attack. Nothing constructive and his rhetoric of going against the establishment is easily debunked by hard facts. If one is inclined to do just a little bit of research. But I suspect Trump voters get what they call information only from far right websites and channels.
Yeah, funny that Bernie was right on Hillary's heels at the end, even with the deck stacked against him. It loks like hillary's going to win, but I doubt she'll get a second term.
