The invisible opponent of Hillary Clinton...

It is the pent up anger and frustration with how our government is operating. They are angry and frustrated with the power of big money in our political system. They fear they are losing their democracy and the politicians are ignoring the problem. If Hillary cannot escape from this political maze, it could create big problems for her down the road.

I hope Mrs. Clinton at the very least will acknowledge as much, and maybe even suggest a few reforms to deal with it. We need a president + congress to deal with this pent-up anger and frustration in a constructive way.
