Apple disrupted the music industry; Uber disrupted the taxi cartels; Amazon disrupted the mega-bookstores. Global competition has been disrupting American manufacturing for decades. The inundation of low-skill immigrants unintentionally produced by the 1965 immigration act has disrupted many communities and big metro areas.
Over history, America has mostly been built by disruption. Certainly the Loyalists in the American Revolution thought so. So did the farmers who cheered for William Jennings Bryan's free silver as industrialization was disrupting the farm economy.
It's not clear that this disruptive convention will help him. Trump's managers have disrupted the traditions in place for 30 years. These rules had been: only supporters speak, sessions end promptly at 11 p.m., don't visibly crush dissent, vet speeches carefully. Monday saw a rules rebellion squashed. Tuesday it was controversy over a bit of anodyne plagiarism. Wednesday it was Ted Cruz's ringing non-endorsement, booed off the stage.
But there's another way of looking at a campaign that has not gone conventional wisdom's way. Disorder and disarray work against the party in power. Terrorist attacks and police shootings are not what America thought it'd get in the Obama years.
As tech billionaire Peter Thiel argued Thursday, disruption is a good thing when old ways -- and especially government -- aren't working well.

This is a headline and story line that should have been published in every newspaper and reported on every TV news program back on August 29, 2008.
But wasn’t.
If that’s what it takes.
What do the idiot writers of this screed mean? America has just had about 7.5 years of a “disruptive” president. I’d even say a “malignant” president.
For instance, the specified powers of the supreme court don't include judging whether a law itself is constitutional. That was assumed by Marshall, and has been followed as a courtesy since. Power is supposed to vest in the house, by either changing laws or controlling the executive.
Secondly, there is nothing preventing Trump from creating a formalized militia - say 50 million strong - and arming them with military grade weapons. All able bodied men in Switzerland are *required* to serve and securely store both small arms and artillery.
The power of the NWO is the dollar system. The entire charade of social welfare for invaders, as well as the media arm that creates & shapes favorable opinion, is dependent on the ability to conjure dollars out of thin air. It would take nothing more than a repeal of the 1913 act to bring the entire house of cards down.
Now, that would be disruption. 50 years later, the US would take an extremely hard snap back to equilibrium.
When are this political opinion journalists going to realize that they don’t matter anymore?
Oh my...did Barone just compare the Trump campaign to terrorist attacks?
yes please
More to the point: Is America ready for the all out war that the left and the entrenched bureaucracy WILL launch on 17 January?
yes
When have we not had a disruptive president?
I think Trump is ready. I don’t think they’ll rattle him at all. I think that will goad him to new heights of leadership.
