Quote of the Day

Salena Zito, writing for RealClearPolitics, about populist voters:

More than 3 million people didn't show up to vote in 2012, according to David Leip's “Atlas of U.S. Elections.” That number was not a show of apathy, but the beginning force of populism that sent a message to the establishment of both parties that neither recognized.

Those 3 million saw no reason to vote for either Obama or Romney. Now we see real enthusiasm for outsiders - Sanders and Trump - and "the establishment of both parties" are clueless, stunned, even aghast.
