      2. Brooks blames failure of him & his peers to foresee rise of Trump on circumscribed social circle:

      3. We "were not socially intermingled with his supporters." Some truth here. I suspect I know more Trump fans than Brooks does.

          @HeerJeet This is not an argument for Brooks hitting up Applebee's salad bar more often, it's a call for NYT to have more inclusive roster.

          4. But the social limits that Brooks describes are part & parcel with a limited ideological horizon.

          5. Brooks is a very moderate neo-conservative. Many of the people who columnize in Washington Post, New York Times, etc. are same.

          @HeerJeet But hasn't major element of Brooks's brand been that he was liaison between the beltway and common folk?

          @HeerJeet I'm surprised though that the author of "Bobos in Paradise" couldn't understand Trumpism, even if he only studied liberal factors.

          @HeerJeet Specially as one doesn't socially intermingle w his supporters. One pulls up a chair, rests one's dogs, & has a brew or 2 with em.

          @HeerJeet I've played this game with many of my DC politico friends: None of them know anyone who actually supports Trump. Not a single one.
