Trump's the presumptive nominee. For academic research to help contextualize this, see thread here.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/702521619047174144 …
zeynep tufekci added,
Trump's not an anomaly globally. Strongman elections are often reactions to elite failure. See storify here. https://storify.com/DougK/trump
My contribution to this debate: I think Trump's rise is related to media's weaknesses more than its strengths.http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/31/opinion/campaign-stops/adventures-in-the-trump-twittersphere.html …
Looking for Trump 2016 analysis? Read the August 2015 piece that laid it all out. Correctly. http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/08/maybe-this-time-really-is-different/401900/ …pic.twitter.com/HHOVmsd9ya
My sense from here: Like movements I study. lack of infrastructure & org chops will thwart Trump now that he faces an organized adversary.
The Republican field was a study in game theory: Trump adversaries getting caught in swamps (local minima), admittedly of their own making.
Long-term structural dynamics on the Rep side AND celebrity candidate with keen sense of media AND social media=Trump could scale up fast. +
But scaling up fast doesn't carry to taking turns at speed while facing an organized adversary in bigger battleground, aka general election.
Democrats are unlikely to get stuck, unorganized, flailing, wondering who they loathe more the way Republicans did while Trump rode a wave.
That said, US is a low-participation, high-apathy election country. The electorate is realigning. Nothing to take for granted. It's a fight.
