Alexander Burns, writing for Politico:

The defeat of Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orbán, should deliver a sharp jolt to one of America’s two major political parties.

Oddly, it’s not the Republicans, deeply invested though they were in Orbán as a fellow traveler. […]

[…] the sharpest message from Budapest should be for the Democrats, strange as that may sound.

This bad-for-Democrats headline is very New York Times. Politico changed the headline (screenshot of original above) shortly after publication to “Orbán’s Defeat Shows What Trump’s Opponents Keep Doing Wrong” (some telltale evidence of which is visible in the URL: hungary-election-orban-defeat-message-democrats). That’s a (slightly) better match for the article (700 words flagellating Democrats for the party’s “command-and-control mindset” and “reverence for norms over original thinking and big ideas” and exhorting them to find “insurgents” in this “age of convulsion.”)
