There is a disturbance in American politics. But no one in the political class seems to be pinpointing the correct source.
Donald Trump gets all of the credit for it from journalists, pundits and academics. They could not be more wrong.
They are looking only at the surface,
seeing the response to his harangues as an affirmation of the man. If
they looked beyond the cartoonish image of Trump, they would understand
that the true disturbance is the frustration of Americans, not the
bluster of one man.
The same goes for the surge by Sen.
Bernie Sanders of Vermont against Hillary Clinton on the Democrats'
side. Clinton's other competitors — Virginia's Jim Webb, a former U.S.
senator and Navy secretary, and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley —
are running deliberate campaigns, but they don't reflect the fire and
unrest of voters on the center-left.
