Today, Fox News announces they have declined to renew the contract of the ‘nevertrumper‘ George Will.

This comment was posted over at Scott Adam’s blog. I think it pertains to this topic as well, because those against Trump had and have a massive blind spot.
Willfully blind, or not, they simply couldn’t comprehend what was a happening as evidenced by these blog headlines.
Like the people standing on the beach looking at the approaching tsunami with their binoculars.
Nate Silver! Check out a look back at HIS predictions! (From Current Affairs): “I wonder how much of the Trump Bump is just voters trolling pollsters,” Two Good Reasons Not To Take the Donald Trump ‘Surge’ Seriously — July 16, 2015. “Basically Trump is the Nickelback of presidential candidates. Disliked by most, super popular with a few.” — July 28, 2015
“PREDICTION: Trump won’t be the Republican /nominee.” — Aug. 6, 2015
“Media: Trump’s doing great! Nerds: No. Those polls don’t mean what you think. Media: A new poll shows Trump doing great! Proved you wrong!” — Aug. 9, 2015
“Donald Trump is winning the polls and losing the nomination.” — Aug. 11, 2015
“About 25% of Americans identify as Republican. Donald Trump’s getting about 25% of that 25% in the polls. Why is this impressive to people?” — Nov. 19, 201 5
“Dear media, Please stop freaking out about Donald Trump’s polls.” — Nov. 23, 2015.
“As for me, I remain quite skeptical of Trump’s chances. I also think his nomination would be an unmitigated catastrophe for Republicans.” — Nov. 29, 2015
“Idea that ‘Trump would win an election today’ also dubious. If election were today, voters would be more informed and news cycle different.” — Dec. 4, 2015
(in response to Rupert Murdoch tweeting that Trump’s “cross-party appeal” was a “winning strategy”): “Actually, Trump is by far the least popular Republican with independents (and Democrats)”— Jan. 15, 2016. (Yes, dictate to a wisened media mogul, Nate, who happened to be picking up on a trend.)
“Wait it’s just now sinking in that Trump might be a wee bit problematic as a general election candidate?” — March 20, 2016
“Trump’s general elex numbers have been terrible since he launched bid. Media barely noticed during 2015 Trumpmania.” — March 29, 2016
“[Idea of Trump being presumptive nominee by mid-May] is delusional. Math doesn’t work.” — April 9, 2016
“The bad news for Trump is that a poll showing him 5 points down is considered good news for Trump.” — June 26, 2016
“Perhaps the worst take is the ‘Trump’s actually doing well to only be down by 7!!!’ take. He’s the least popular major-party nominee ever.” — Aug. 3, 2016 “Trump has been super unpopular with the November electorate pretty much forever.” — Aug. 16, 2016
“Trump is doubling down on a losing strategy.” — Aug. 18, 2016
“[The] most delusional part of Trump thinking he has a silent majority is how small a fraction of the population he’s even bothering to appeal to.” — Aug. 13, 2016

Interesting but not too surprising, given how much Trump likes Farrage.
I noted with some interest the report that Farrage hosted a truly highbrow Trump inauguration party, renting the entire top floor of one of D.C.'s swankiest hotels on Thursday night. No mention so far of which hotel it was.
Anyway, the guest list was primarily leaders or representatives of various political parties from overseas, like LePen's party in France, Orban's party in Hungary, some anti-Merkel Germans, some other Brexit Brits, some of Geert Wilders bunch (including him) from the Netherlands, even some Aussies that see Trump as a good example. I think the Austrian delegation was actually represented by its leader, the one that just lost the Austrian election.
Pretty much, it was a gathering of all the opposition parties in the EU, opposed to unlimited free trade pacts and a flood of endless Third World immigration by migrants hostile to their host country and its people while living off their social welfare programs.
Farrage is not satisfied with just Brexit. He wants to force the disintegration of the EU entirely. And he's not alone.
I think Bannon and Farrage will be fanning the flames of these populist/nationalist groups across the globe. That Farrage soiree on Thursday night had Bannon's hand behind it, I think. Farrage can't afford that himself and it is exactly the kind of thing Bannon wants to do, judging by how he ran Breitbart.
This is why the Davos/Bilderburg/Trilaterals/Club of Rome/CFR multilateral/internationalist types are so worried about Trump, that Trump's message and agenda will spread globally and rain down on their globalist parade. Apparently, they couldn't stop talking about Trump at the recent Davos confab. They fear that Trump's message will spread in Europe especially in upcoming elections, especially in the wake of the Brexit vote.
FWIW, I think Trump may be the first non-CFR president since WW II.
Anyway, it seemed to me a very underreported bit of news. I was surprised libmedia didn't fall all over the story as some sinister international convention of Nazis or something.
