If you read only one article to which I send you this week, read David Frum on what's happened to his beloved Republican party. It's the best theory I've read that explains the clamor for Donald Trump.
And as a sidebar, read this New York Times piece which says that an analysis of Trump's economic proposals shows that they will — get ready to be surprised — make the super-rich super-richer and add trillions of dollars to the debt. If you've just read Frum, you've seen him say that this is exactly what Trump supporters don't want from him.
And if you want to read one more piece that fits into this mosaic, read Peter Beinart on why he believes that regardless of who wins what in which upcoming elections, America is moving to the left and that can't be stopped.
