      1. Good thoughts here on elite failures that led to rise of Trump. Worth reading. I have some points to addhttps://twitter.com/BrendanNyhan/status/709172904194396160 …

      At this point, I'm less outraged/surprised by the extent of Trump's public support than the passivity and acquiescence of so many elites

      2. While there has been broad elite failure, worth specifying which institutions bear particular responsibility.

      1. @jbouie piece gets closer to the causes of Trumpism than anything else I've seen but it could be augemented: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/cover_story/2016/03/how_donald_trump_happened_racism_against_barack_obama.single.html …

      4. Aside from GOP, I think other big institutions that need soul-searching are cable news networks.

          @HeerJeet hey Jeet, but do they? They're for profit. Isn't the larger issue that America lacks a vibrant public broadcaster?

          5. Trump is good ratings. Cable news always happy to have him on. Problem is they don't have resources to refute all his lies.

          @HeerJeet Or the desire to refute all Trump's BS. After all, they care more about access & ratings than facts & news.

          @HeerJeet If Trump wins the nom, the MSM will turn on him very quickly, because he violates "non-partisan" norms in a way that Cruz doesn't.
