The Huckster Populist - By Robert Reich
The tectonic plates of American politics are no longer moving along the old fault lines of “left vs. right” or even Democrat versus Republican.
As we’ve seen this bizarre political year, the biggest force welling up is rage against insider elites in both parties and against the American establishment as a whole — including the denizens of Wall Street, large corporations and the mainstream media.
