EVERY New Year's, in a spirit of self-examination, I try to catalog my worst blunders from the preceding year. But this year, like almost every pundit in America, I have one mistake that overshadows all the others, one confession that makes my other faults seem venial by comparison.
I underestimated Donald Trump.

GO TRUMP!!
Many will underestimate you!
2016: The year of eating crow.
the NYT is a homosexual shop.
Wow.
Some pretty good self-deprecating humor from Ross Douthat. Thanks for posting.
It’s a trap.
There are no original thoughts allowed.
No political operative ahh, `journalist` is allowed to deviate from the editors script.
The only way to succeed in the MSM is to be a ruthless, dishonest fithy piece of political scum.
I hope this `columnist` slides under a gas truck and tastes his own blood.
Irrespective of Donald Trump and his candidacy, the fact that Ross Douthat doesn’t know feces from Shinola in this context throws his whole Punditry status into the category of, “And what does Drew Barrymore think?”
Ever thought of a real, useful day job, Ross? Flip a burger, change a tire? No, I didn’t think so.
It will never be 'immigration is a threat and a mess, Islam is a threat and a mess, the economy is a threat and a mess, Trump stated clearly he would deal with it"
It will always be about how he pulled off his PR. And that's because that's all the presidency is to Liberals ... a sham to get control of resources and other peoples' money and freedom.
” (I underestimated Donald Trump)”
No Ross, you’re an idiot spewing what you’re paid to.
I mean, if you want self-examination instead of more lying.
No need to underestimate the author. He’ll be voting demoRat with the rest of those mindless drones over there at Pinchy’s Rag.
The last line is pretty good.
... And “radical-center voters”??? That’s a bizarre way of saying ‘moderates’.
: ) thanks, I did not catch that.
Big city liberals, compared to flyover country folks, may as well be from other solar systems. They do not speak or understand our language.

LOL. The problem that these lib morons have is that they get their news from other lib morons.
It’s become a huge lib propaganda echo chamber and they are all living in a parallel universe.
This fool and who?
He, no different than Huffington Post, remember, the paper who refused to cover TRUMP on the political pages....he was introduced in their entetainment section.
Actually, he might have burst on the scene in both sections, seeing that he is excelled at both entertaining and politics on so many levels, he leaves his nay-sayers eating his dust. Wile E. Coyote has nothing compared to the bag of tricks Trump has up his sleeve..He is nothing short of a genius in doing what he does.
GO TRUMP/CRUZ Make America Great for Great Americans!
Douthat is corrupt. Anyone who says that there is evidence that Obama is a citizen of the United States is a liar.
Of course I’m not completely humbled. Indeed, I’m still proud enough to continue predicting, in defiance of national polling, that there’s still no way that Trump will actually be the 2016 Republican nominee.
Trust me: I’m a pundit.
(And I’ll see you in the confessional next year.)...
Almost sounds like he believes Trump will be the nominee :)
Don’t believe it for even one second. NYT is a nest of treasonous bastages.
