Trump gathers globalization's losers, Libertarians its winners

Eduardo Porter's "We've Seen the Trump Phenomenon Before" describes world wide resistance to globalization by those who have lived to long on the losing side. Both the Republican and Democrat establishments are shocked by the outsider campaigns, where Donald Trump succeeded and Bernie Sanders would have if there were no super delegates giving the Democrat insider an insurmountable edge. Apparently top down establishment candidates are not trusted. Contrast that to Libertarian's respect for the individual with a bottom up ideology flourishing in this interconnected world.
