This story reminds me a lot of Sanders' old quote: "The revolution will not begin at Harvard University." For how liberal the NYT (and Harvard) are reputed to be, they are actually bastions of the elite, a role that is diametrically opposed to being revolutionary.
Harvard students and NYT writers have very real vested interests in maintaining the current order, which in this cycle is HRC, the most establishment candidate in recent memory (of course, every GOP candidate this cycle is incredibly establishment too, but that's another comment).
- jandrese 11y agoArguing Trump as an establishment candidate is a tough road. It seems pretty clear that the establishment would prefer almost anyone else, but their systematic oppression of moderates in their own party left them with no viable candidates this year. I mean the primaries are already half over and they're still trying to figure out if they can make Kasich the nominee somehow.
