Any explanation approaching accuracy undercuts the establishment and can not be acknowledged. It's not the kind of tactical mistake they can own up to, but one that cuts uncomfortably close to admitting they're doing the country a deliberate disservice.
The explanation is there if anyone wants to see it. The Rolling Stone's political editor was calling it 6 months before Trump was even elected.
>It turns out we let our electoral process devolve into something so fake and dysfunctional that any half-bright con man with the stones to try it could walk right through the front door and tear it to shreds on the first go. [...] [Trump] likes being famous, which got him into reality TV. He knows show business. That put him in position to understand that the presidential election campaign is really just a badly acted, billion-dollar TV show whose production costs ludicrously include the political disenfranchisement of its audience.
