    I’m pretty much with @RadioFreeTom on the debate over the tea party. I see Trump as a logical extension of it—not an anomaly. There’s a reason my book “Too Dumb to Fail” begins there.pic.twitter.com/34mu8pwtHf

        Agree, may have been sliding further to the right, but this movement greased the skids & within 5 years had enough impact to deny Romney critical support & establish a growing GOP majority on the far right fringe. A regrettable strategic mistake leading to Trump.

        Right wing media is to blame for embracing and amplifying the idiocracy. Trump just rode the waves.

        I’m going to buy your book and read it. Have a question though: do you think the issues we have in politics today center around a “winner MUST take all” mentality? I see zero compromise because “comprisers” own parties crucify them.

        Narcissists tap into negative aspects of their minions and amplify that.

        There may be some overlap between the Tea Party and Trumpsters but I think it’s less than 50% of either group. Tea Party was mostly about fiscal policy. Trumpsters don’t give a rats ass about that

        Voting for Trump proves you should be ignored.

        Hahah who cares about "the establishment?" Like I said go with your white backlash politics. I'll be here waiting and when cities turn out in full and you guys lose everything don't come crying to me about the payback. Bye bye coal.

        None of this explains Justice Thomas, Herman Cain, or Ben Carson, who are virtually revered by the right. Tribalism, however, does.

        Used to like you, Matt, but can’t handle the twists yo7 take trying to defend trump too often. I either mute or ffwd when ur on now. Became like watching Kingston nonsense

        Though I must say that the desperation of many fed up folks seemed more than willing to throw in w/ Trump. Imagine my shock when one of my doctors, a Hindu from India, really thought a Trump shake up was a good idea. I disagreed, of course.

        I can see how that. It's as if the kook fringe just took over. The Ron Paul groupies and the like. Most of us weren't/aren't like that.

        I just want to know if the tea party obsession with birtherism and calling Obama a muslim were features or benefits? Cause it totally wasn't racism...
