About This Book
Standout syndicated columnist and CNN contributor Salena Zito, with veteran Republican strategist Brad Todd, reports across five swing states and over 27,000 miles to answer the pressing question: Was Donald Trump's election a fluke or did it represent a fundamental shift in the electorate that will have repercussions—for Republicans and Democrats—for years to come.
The history of the American electorate is not a litany of flukes; instead it is a pattern of tectonic plate-grinding, punctuated by a landscape-altering earthquake every generation or so. Donald Trump's electoral coalition is smashing both American political parties and its previously impenetrable political news media.
The political experts called the 2016 election wrong and in the wake of the 2016 election surprise, the experts have continued to blow it—looking to predict the coming demise of the President without pausing to consider the durability of the trends and winds that swept him into office.
