The latest presidential debate vividly captured how the 2008 financial crisis has reshaped the Republican Party by unleashing a potent populist strain that could further scramble an already unpredictable primary contest.

WOW! What insight!

Why do these clowns think that Trump had a meteoric rise to the top of the polls, and has stayed there since June?

They call it a populist strain, we just say we are pissed off at being continually lied to by all politicians.

I now have three bumper stickers on my vehicle, 'Cruz For President 2016', 'Trump For President 2016' and 'Hillary For Prison 2016" and all three work for me.

WSJ speaks of populism as if it were a BAD thing.

For the elite, perhaps it is. But when the rule of the elite departs too far from the conventional wisdom of the governed, then the elites are at risk of being deposed, and mobs, unruly as they can get, have a notable effect on that deposition.

Be glad that the insurrections are, as of yet, mostly confined to invective and verbal exchanges. Now might be a good time to examine just what the complaints are, and act to rectify the perceived wrong involved.

But make sure it is a real complaint, and it is subjected to corrective action that actually works, or the issue will never go away.
