I think Donald Trump is the real change agent unlike Obama was. some inconvenient questions are being asked.
No public official in modern times has challenged so many of the broad assumptions of American civic life, undermined so many of the canons of politics, recast so many of the conventions of public behavior. In a mere 18 months — to the consternation of establishment politicians, the news media and many of the special-interest groups that have controlled the conversation of the capital — he has upended the American political system. And while his rivals abhor him and scholars may condemn him, history may well applaud him for raising vital questions about American political culture, including:
• Is a permanent Washington establishment an asset in American life?
• Is business acumen applicable to the political arts?
• Why do intelligent, engaged citizens examine the same world and yet have vastly different perceptions?
• Is there such a thing as the truth?
• Has a political party that for generations dedicated itself to serving the poor and the striving become instead the province of the educated and the elite? And, conversely, can a party that for decades has served business interests transform itself into a populist vanguard?
Trump roils the old order
