Historically, simultaneous rise of left and right movements appealing to those crushed/threatened by global economy is not unprecedented.

US political framing (liberal/not-liberal) isn't great for naming/placing this. But it feels pretty familiar on global/historical waves.

2-I get the "Trump doesn't have ground game" bit But digital tools+ Republican same day registration + secret ballot makes it different imo.

Democrats caucus differently than Republicans in Iowa. Rs seem more vulnerable to digital tools + waves; Dems to analytics+ground game.

Adding to my post-Iowa tweets. Seems Trump will fight the primary in the general election. http://bigstory.ap.org/article/ed853e2f84bd42658868a42f997c93fe/ap-interview-donald-trump-says-hes-narrowed-vp-shortlist …pic.twitter.com/AYU8awEqx8

Lack of ground game & data did not defeat Trump in primary given his mass & social media dominance, but it helped make Cruz the runner up.

In a field of two in a high-energy election with winner-takes-state electoral college? Data and ground game will absolutely make difference.
