U.S. result was predictable months ago (Whitehorse Star, Nov. 9, 2016)

Re.“Clintonomics created Trump; only Sanders can beat him” (Star column, June 17, 2016). 

Quality journalism is often published in the Star. If you can’t find it in your newspaper stack or in the Star online archives, just go to:

Seriously, many who are not sucked or plugged into the neoliberal echo chambers of mainstream media like the CBC, or the U.S. equivalents National Public Radio and CNN, etc., could see Trump coming.

Independent American authors and journalists, among them Barbara Ehrenreich and Thomas Frank, through months and years, had warned and left little doubt that people needed revenge on the elites and were going to get it.

Ehrenreich and Frank are a joy to read; they are that good. Also, one comes along much better prepared for what happens and when it happens.

Their wisdom inspired me to write the opinion piece for the Star, which I feel has become even more relevant.
