Did you trust the polls that said Clinton was leading by 12 points? Did you wonder if Trump was really confident or just putting on a brave face? This book gives insight into a campaign that was dishonestly covered by most of the media - including and especially by Fox News. The Trump win was truly revolutionary. A handful of amateur poll analysts (save 1) and an historian (Larry Schweikart) , connected by the modern equivalent of string and orange juice cans, saw what the media tried hard to hide, crunched the numbers more accurately than the high paid priests of bean counting and reassured the Trump team when gloom and doom propagandists went into overdrive.
Breitbart's Joel Pollack provides color on the last days of the campaign as he traveled with the press corps covering the indefatigable Trump who, since he paid his own way, refused to play the compliant, apologetic doormat Republican candidate role.
There's so much more to learn from this historic and revolutionary campaign and I hope both authors will follow up with a series of books about the heros and villians of this story. Pollack hints at but does not call to account the cultist and clueless press pack whose purpose was to report that Trump could do nothing right and Clinton could do no wrong. Schweikart tiptoes up to the events that led to the changing of Trump's campaign management - in each case at the right time with the right new people - but provides no "fly on the wall" war room insight. Although Pollack worked for Steve Bannon he gives away no secrets, either. How hard was it to convince Trump to use a teleprompter? What was the winning argument and whose argument prevailed? Kellyanne Conway was the polling expert winning campaign manager - was she on the deplorable merry band's circulation list or did she rely on other? What role did the Trump children have in the major decisions? What brought the group together and who was the glue that kept this over-worked group moving forward in the face of a hostile media, corrupt competitor and rejecting Republican party?
The biggest question of the election for me: how many illegal votes did the democrats count on when added to the poll numbers? 40 years of dead voters and 8 years of uncontrolled illegal aliens surely were expected to provide a more than comfortable cushion in toss-up states. Even the democrats had to know they had a lousy candidate who couldn't turn out real voters.
This election is truly one for the history books and this is one of the first books in that library. Well worth the read!
