Publisher's summary

From the moment Donald Trump announced his candidacy for the White House until very late on election night, media and pollsters kept insisting Trump wouldn't - couldn't - be president. But for Larry Schweikart - one of a ragtag group of amateur politicos called the "Deplorables", who had been publishing shockingly accurate polls and predictions, and Joel Pollak, a senior editor at Breitbart News following Trump on the campaign trail - Trump's 2016 win was a near certainty. Schweikart and Pollak watched the Trump campaign build a powerful coalition of working Americans from both parties; they saw the momentum that the mainstream media and pollsters completely missed. Now, in How Trump Won, they tell the whole incredible story, from the early poll predictions to the campaign trail and on to election night.

Intriguing Summary

Epic behind the scenes details of the most controversial and unpredictable election in my lifetime. It helps explain why this was the most exciting presidential bid, probably in history.

Should be titled: I knew Trump could win

This uninformative book is not about HOW Trump won, but rather that the two authors saw evidence that he COULD win where others did not. You will find no information about how Trump won, only that he did and the authors saw evidence in the data along the way. The only redeeming factor about this fawning worship of The Donald is that it was written before the authors' savior launched a mob on the capitol after losing the 2020 election. It's unclear if they would still kneel and kiss Trump's ring after the January 6th mob, but you get the feeling that they would. These are true believers willing to follow the dear leader right to the end of our Republic. Maybe they'll get the right guy to end our democracy next time....

Highly Entertaining

This is a very entertaining book. Usually when you have two authors you only hear one voice. Instead you get to hear both authors separately talking about the same story from two different perspectives. Given the highly unusual nature of the 2016 campaign this is a very good way to get the true sense of the enormity of the event. Enjoy!

Boring material. Terrible Narrator

What disappointed you about How Trump Won?

Honestly I only made it through about an hour of this drivel. The author droned on about his credentials while presenting the same Trump story we already know. I could have made it through that however the Narrator's fake "accent" completely ruined it. I attempted listening to it a couple times and couldn't bear it.

Has How Trump Won turned you off from other books in this genre?

It's the same material. We know that story.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Jack Griffin?

Ray Porter. Doug Wead. Or anyone else. The narrator ruined it.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment.
