The success of Donald Trump is also a failure of the left.
And so the most troubling thing about it is not that Trump himself is all but certain to retake the US presidency, but that lefties worldwide are utterly incapable of seeing where and how they have gone so catastrophically wrong.
It started in the 1960s, most especially in America where the whole democratic project now, as then, looks like it’s about to implode.
Hippie activists and anti-Vietnam war protesters turned on the Democrats at the infamous Chicago convention and the Democrats themselves turned on their sitting President Lyndon Johnson.
Johnson was forced out of the 1968 race, his presumptive replacement Bobby Kennedy was assassinated and Richard Nixon won by 301 electoral college votes to Democrat Hubert Humphrey’s paltry 191.
A decade more renowned for left-wing activism than any other in history produced the most conservative result for the most powerful nation on earth at the very apex of that activism.
If this is starting to sound eerily familiar, so it should.
LBJ was the last incumbent president to be denied his party’s nomination. More than half a century later Democrats have made the exact same mistake in the opposite direction.
They were fools for ditching Johnson and fools for keeping Joe Biden, each of which occurred in a flurry of hysterical activism against nefarious right-wing forces both real and imagined
The result? It now seems inevitable that they will finally knock off the latter, but the truth is it will make no difference. By failing to act when they should have they have crippled themselves in acting too late.
The first catch-22 is that any Democrat who seriously wants to become president and possesses half a brain will not want to be the one who lost to Trump in a landslide. And even if they find someone willing to sacrifice their ambitions to save the furniture they are caught in another catch-22.
This is that under the USA’s strict campaign finance laws – you know, the ones Trump was prosecuted under – it is extremely difficult to transfer money from one candidate to a new one who is not already on the ticket.
So the Democrats Catch 22 turns into America's Karma, spelt K.A.M.A.L.A
Yep, her - the seemingly vacuous Giggler

Is this the Hilderbrand who writes for the Telegraph ? Reading briefly about him he seems an all round nasty person, I'll pass on his witterings.
I stopped reading it after the first sentence, googled his name and that was the end of my interest.
A horrid person.
