Establishment bias still matters a lot. Voters over 65 make up a shockingly high fraction of overall turnout, and they get more of their information from old media. (Converselt, the median CNN viewer is 68 years old...)
This election showed the new and unprecedented power of social media and grassroots democracy. But at least on the democratic side, it looks like the establishment will prevail.
I think in a few years, party elites will have even less control than they do now, for better or worse.
