Essentially the punditry is drowning in the past including Clinton and they are so brainwashed they cannot see the potential in anything. Trump always says that the country has tremendous potential. The punditry simply does not know how to see that let alone make plans for something that has not been created yet.
That is why Trump is winning and they are losing.
A.K.A. Black Swan event.
Just read this form the Condervative Treehouse:
” The second group are those who truly know better; they are older and wiser, they know the truth because they saw it unfold. However, they are also financially dependent on retention of a narrative that sold the change in the past 40 years. These are the willfully blind who have sold-out to the benefit of, and enrichment from, the false economy.
This second group is intent on retaining a historic set of false assumptions by fraud and deception. Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Chris Matthews and Hugh Hewitt fit into this second grouping.”
That’s exactly what I mean about the punditry being backward looking because it’s good for profits.
The elite dilettantes just can’t understand how they cannot validly explain the Trump phenomenon.
It is their arrogance and smug self-satisfaction coupled with a complete lack of empathy, sympathy or experience of the common American who has been shat on by government for at least two decades. They live in their cloistered elitist intellectual worlds and the only time they ever break a sweat is at the gym when their trainer drives them hard. Otherwise, they’re sitting on their fat lazy asses and telling drive-by America why it is so clueless and stupid.
Anyone paying attention knew Trump struck a chord with the average American on day one of his campaign. The polls have always had him in front of all the other R’s in the race. Yet it is a shock to those out of touch only.....
The Uniparty only represents about about 10% of the countries electorate. Any one could see a Nationalist was going to come along eventually and tip overturn the apple cart. The only shock is how fast it happened, not whether it happened.
Humans are great at predicting rare events. Why, there must be ten thousand such predictions for every rare event that actually happens!
When I heard Trump on Michael Savage in 2012 hoping someone would beat the destructive Obama, I thought, this guy loves the US and if he ran he would get the WH. I knew his rep from living in Manhattan in the eighties.
Easy
President Trump can’t be sworn in soon enough. Obama is going kooky with all his executive actions.
They weren’t wrong- they were intentionally wrong.
It was obvious from the start that Trump’s issues appealed to moderates and conservatives. But they disguised that. They didn’t just ignore it they disguised it and reported on anything else.
Not so mystifying. All it took was for a fearless soul like Donald to hear the voice of We The People and jump in to defend us against the corruption of our politicians and corrupt government, and being ignored by those we elect to help us.
Not always! MrD was very afraid that JFK was going to be murdered and was afraid it was going to happen in Houston. He was so relieved when
JFK left town and went to Dallas.
I always wondered if there was a plot to murder him here but he left too soon. MrD doesn't always pick up things like that but there have been times.............
Leicester City, a historically weak English soccer team, would win the Premier League. The team has won, and it has reportedly cost the bookmakers 25 million pounds
How much did the bookmakers take in from the folks who bet on Manchester United?

>>Last summer, the great mass of the American political punditocracy
Last Summer, I attended a fundraiser for the local GOP at which Herman Cain spoke. He told us to keep an eye on Trump, that he might surprise a lot of people.
I wish I had a video of that event.

Yes and I don’t think Trump was an unpredictable event if anything the rise of Trump or someone like him is overdue. I know many of us here on FR have been predicting something like this for sometime. Herman Cain almost became the Trump of 2012 but was derailed. There has been a growing desire in the electorate for an alternative Trump stepped into that role boldly.
I’ll never get those two minutes back. There’s a lot of lint in that navel.
