Perhaps the most disruptive element that Donald Trump introduced into the Republican presidential primary was his laser-beam focus on the alleged incompetence and "stupidity" of the political class. While traditionally Republican contenders for their party's nomination based their campaign on attacking Washington D.C., suggesting they were somehow distinct from the political culture on Capitol Hill, Trump unleashed a "shock and awe" ( to use a Pentagon term) assault that targeted the entire political class, Republican and Democrat. In the face of the real estate mogul's schadenfreude, the GOP's perceived establishment frontrunners, in particular Jeb Bush, have been floundering. Their old standby sloganeering, such as railing against Washington, is proving to be both ineffective and irrelevant in the new presidential campaign dynamic that Trump and his campaign organization have facilitated through their successful adaptation of the techniques of disruptive innovation. It is as though Jeb Bush -- and also Hillary Clinton -- are offering American voters obsolete mainframe computers, while Trump is aggressively marketing smartphones

Go, Trump, GO!!
“Alleged” incompetence and stupidity of our rulers? No, it’s a demonstrable truth.
“Disruptive Innovation”
I’ll give the libs credit for one thing, they make up the most clever terms. “Disruptive Innovation”, “suspension of reality”, “microagression” and on and on and on.
That’s a business and economics term.
And it is apt. Once a disruptive innovation happens, we can’t go back to how things were before.
“Ill give the libs credit for one thing, they make up the most clever terms. Disruptive Innovation, suspension of reality, microagression and on and on and on.”
It’s that they’ve all been “raised on Common Core ( or it’s predecessors)!”
That's why the other candidates cannot stop the Trump train.
Not only did Trump introduce a new kind of candidate, he also introduced a completely new way of campaigning (using social media and speak the unvarnished truth), a new way to dominating the media (earned media as opposed to purchased media), a new way of financing a campaign (use your own money), and a new way of defining your policies (post them on your website, but only discuss them in generalities, because you have to remain flexible).
Niiice!
Trump has brought out in the political circles that it’s all b.s.
He is showing how phony some of the candidates are, the super pacs, the msm, talking heads...
They are the ones that are telling We the People how to vote, and that should be OUR decisions...
Trump 2016!!!
Sorry about that, guess I shoulda research the term before I opened my yap.
Disruptive innovation is not a new hip liberal phrase. It first appeared in print in 1917
As a businessman, I love those terms.
It did approach the level of an overused meme at one point a few years back. All the b-school pundits were using it after the Christensen book (referred to in the article) was published.
Sure. Now breathing is a “life hack” and “disruption.”
“Thats a business and economics term.”
It might as well be considered an ancient warfare term, also. Previous examples of “disruptive innovation” include:
—Chariots
—Bows & arrows
—Gatling guns
—Submarines
—Aircraft
—Chemical warfare
—Attacks during winter
