Authentically Presidential Much has been made this primary season of the desirability of "authenticity" in Presidential candidates. Bernie Sanders is doing unexpectedly well because he's authentic. Hillary Clinton lacks authenticity, which is why some were allegedly clamoring for the much more "authentic" Joe Biden to enter the race. Donald Trump may not be honest, and he may not be right, but he sure is "authentic."

It is hard to define what "authentic" means. All too often, it appears to be a stand in for the quality of enjoying the advantages that being a white man inherently bring to the electoral process.
