When Senator Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) won Iowa last week, the British media almost collectively orgasmed: "OMG Trump lost!" This morning was different, with UK media coalescing around the idea that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Donald Trump have "shaken up" the Presidential race.
That would be good analysis, were it not almost a year too late. The truth is no one in the establishment media could predict this moment. Journalists have asked me, time and again, "Surely America will come to its senses?" I've always answered: "It is. That's what this is".
Mainstream figures don't understand why the "favoured" candidates, Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton, aren't being propelled to victory by their charmless centrism. And that's because most journalists aren't knowledgeable enough (or old enough) to remember anything before the 2008 election of Barack Obama - a hangover from the "Third Way" of Bill Clinton.
But today, popular news outlets across the country have been forced to admit: the anti-establishment feeling surging through America is no joke.
The BBC leads with: "Both candidates are riding on a wave of discontent with mainstream politics".
The Independent says: "Outsiders Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders were handsomely rewarded by the voters of New Hampshire on Tuesday night - with predictions handing them huge wins over their establishment rivals".
The Guardian reports: "Donald Trump, once an object of mockery and scorn by many in the political establishment, has won the New Hampshire Republican primary."

We already have single payer, it’s called Medicade. Those who cannot pay, use it. All those on “welfare” have free medical and dental care.
All of the people working in the mass media area are on someone’s payroll. They speak and write what the payroll controllers desire.
The comments from the UK press remind me of all the snide remarks about Ronald Reagan being an actor and not being a serious candidate before the 1980 election. He turned out okay. Donald Trump is the only candidate with turn-around experience and the people know that’s what we need now.
The Times reports: “Donald Trump won the New Hampshire primary last night – the surest sign yet that voters are ready to put a billionaire former reality TV star with no political experience into the world’s most powerful executive position.â€
The world’s most powerful executive position could use a really powerful executive this time around.
I like that!
WTP are madder than hell! The Tsunami builds on one shore traveling with great speed to another across the globe. ;-) Thanks for the ping.
Lying does not become you.
What about the ‘fairness’ issue?
Those on medicare get much better treatment than those on medicare.
Trump wants to fix that, so does Bernie.
Says its not moral,
Maybe he will make Canada pay for it and it will cost us nothing just like his wall.
Those on Medicare get much better treatment than those on MedicareMedicaid.
I don’t think they lied to the Senate, and their records were out there for all to see.
The ‘Pubbies were just ‘playing nice.’ Which is why we are peeved with them.
