DERRY, N.H. — What was once flippantly deemed the Summer of Trump has evolved into something much bigger: a singular moment in American political and cultural history.
(snip)
Trump’s candidacy will be a moment that today’s voters will have to explain to their grandchildren.
“What is happening with Trump is not a fluke,” said Harvard government and sociology professor Theda Skocpol, author of “The Tea Party and the Remaking of Republican Conservatism.” “Yes, he is a great entertainer, but he is able to take advantage of a number of dynamics in American politics as they exist right now. This is an important moment.”
Trump is the personification of a 21st century America fascinated by the super rich and obsessed with celebrity, political historians said in interviews.
In politics, his assets provide massive available financing in a national race where money plays an unprecedented role. A hyper-fast media environment means Trump’s candid comments and jaw-dropping insults, such as his jab at US Senator John McCain’s respected military service, permeate Facebook feeds, quickly making him the most-discussed candidate in the field, according to social media analytics.

Nope. Give it another shot.
Obsessed by the ultra rich. Is she serious? The ultra rich dominate politics and government, and that is what people are rebelling against.
Trump’s success does’t have anything to do with public anger at the direction our current elected representatives are taking us or the fact that liberal scolds have their jackboots on our necks, nah.
Yeah, I felt I had to post the first part of the article ... but I do think it is historic. I'll be handing out Trump bumper stickers tomorrow ...
How ever it ends, Trump has already done the country a great service.
He certainly has the GOPe sweating. He’s also put immigration on the front burner.

i think trump is saying fu to his super rich buddies. I think he is saying that he loves america and has staked some of his fortune and honor to defend it. people Ben Franklyn did air baths in is front window. he was not perfect. but helped create a perfect union. why cuz there was us to help him and the other do it.
Trump is like no other Presidential candidate in recent memory. His no holes barred straightforward answers is refreshing.

I do too. He's in his late 60's, achieved everything, restores hotels, and decided to take on restoring America - why not.
I am older. Looked for it three times.

not sure where the phrase came from from but it sounds like your holds are not barred or shored up so everything is flying around loose in the hold — bottom part of the ship.
Just think....if Trump hadn’t come up with the “only Rosie O’Donnell” retort to the dagger Megyn Kelly threw at him she very possibly would have succeeded at taking him out and the talk of reforms to immigration, etc. etc. would have died and we’d be looking at business as usual.
DT actually acknowledged in a recent interview that Rosie, for once, saved him.
Methinks these political hysterians are in the wrong line of work. They've completely missed the meaning of the Trump surge if they think it's all about fascination with uber wealthy celebrities.
I feel very good or better every time he takes a snotty media guy to task throwing ice cold water on them so they wind up speechless shivering!!!
