Apologies if this is a big generalization, but it appears to me that the American electorate is acutely susceptible to the kind of populism that we here in the UK were long able to discern in our political system. (well, at least those of us who are proactive in politics anyway).
We don't fall for the type of "yes we can" demagoguery that most of you do. Look, 1997 we had a new government assume control, and in 2001, that new government, under tremendous pressure from Washington, caved, and under the stewardship of Blair and hauled us into a war that led to resignations from the cabinet, and that, also eventually, to the ouster of Blair. So we know exactly what we vote for here.
