Trumped: How The Republicans Lost Control Of Their Own Party
The Republican Party had been looking forward to Election Day 2016 for a very long time. After losing both the 2008 and 2012 Presidential elections, they turned up the pressure on likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton over issues related to the Benghazi attack and her private email server, assembled every big gun on their roster into perhaps the most loaded Republican primary in history, and were ready to kick back and see who would emerge from the primaries as their champion.
The GOP establishment wouldn't have believed it if someone had told them that all of the party favorites would drop like flies in the face of a challenge from real estate mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump, but that's exactly what happened. Despite his lack of policy detail, consistently scandalous actions, and penchant for offending just about everyone with his glib comments, Trump quickly became the runaway favorite, destroying and humiliating the Republican establishment in the process.
How could this happen? How could the party of Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Reagan have fallen so far that Donald Trump was able to waltz right in, effortlessly rocket past Republican superstars like Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio, and dominate the Republican primaries across just about every political, religious, racial, and social line? How could this man then go on to defeat Hillary Clinton in the fight she had spent her life preparing for and, while every career politician in America’s jaws hit the floor, get himself elected President of the United States of America?
This book tells the story of the most unlikely Presidential election outcome in history, taking you on a journey that starts with President Barack Obama's election in 2008, through the unprecedented 2016 Republican primary season, and all the way to Trump’s stunning Election Day victory. We’ll watch how the reins of the country slipped past the Republican Party, past Hillary Clinton, and into the unpredictable, and some would say unstable, hands of Donald J. Trump.
