The liberal New York Times editorial board cautioned Democrats against the impulse to "gloat" about the apparent chaos taking place in the Republican primary, as Donald Trump upends the party's leadership and orthodoxy.
The paper said Tuesday night that Trump's status as the front-runner for the GOP presidential nomination should serve as a warning for Democratic "elites" who have become complacent with their support among certain demographic groups

The NYT warns the Democrats about Trump.
Trump has truly framed the narrative of this election. He has made it about patriotism, the American people and making America great again.
The Democrats want to make it about political correctness.
Be afraid Democrats. Be very afraid.
translation: We have seen the internals on our own polls, and we are now sending out for fresh underwear every hour on the half-hour.
after the last four Presidents, and the assorted scoundrels who lost those elections, my expectations are quite modest
In other words, Trump is going to raid the plantations and bodegas and sweatshops and inspire people who are feeling pretty hopeless after years of being cultivated only for votes

"The commie New York Times editorial board...
And who will pay the bill to meet their demands?
Excellent. I love your five stages. Makes sense.
While that’s probably happening on some level, that’s not my takeaway from this article. It seems to be about Trump leading a rank and file revolt against GOP leaders, warning Dem leaders that the same could happen to them.
I think the article overblows the situation for the Dems. The Dems have been traditionally much better than the GOP at identifying possible rebellious elements, targeting and infiltrating them and buying off/otherwise co-opting the leadership elements, while whipping rebellious rank and file into obedience
The way the whole Netroots movement was pulled into the Dem fold is a case study in how the Dems operate. Occupy was AstroTurf, as I’m convinced BLM is as well.
Democrats don’t learn lessons.. they double down and push harder next time and get sneakier.
That is right. That is what is so scary. They don’t see themselves as public servants - the see themselves as royalty to whom the pathetic human scum owe their allegiance and money. The cannot simply be beaten, they must be obliterated.
Democrats carry a grim lesson for Democrats, the USA, the world, the sun, Andromeda Galaxy.
“It seems to be about Trump leading a rank and file revolt against GOP leaders, warning Dem leaders that the same could happen to them.”
Trump has framed the narrative of the election and he is the one that the Republicans chose over the far better funded party insiders.
The Democrats realize that Democrat voters are even more disgusted with party leaders than the Republicans. The turnout in Democrat primaries is down. There is no enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton or other party insiders.
The Democrats are afraid. As well they should be.
Trumps way is to teach them to catch fish, not wait in line for fish to be given to them
Given the choice....
No problem with that.
None of us can quite remember what it means and feels like to win anymore.
We are still a country that loses.
The only taste we have of winning is Trump numbers, and that isn’t quite as satisfying as it will be when we can say President Trump.
You give human nature more credit than experience suggests. Given the choice many humans will opt to rely on others to meet their needs. Free sh!t is the creed of a large segment of most cultures.
