Book Description:
An exciting and informative chronicle of the 2016 presidential campaign that sheds light on Donald Trump’s unexpected triumph.
Donald Trump’s election triumph took aback the globe. Where did he find the time? Was it his ability to win over undecided voters in the swing states? Was it Hillary Clinton and all the scandals that followed her long political career? Were crucial elements in place before the candidates were chosen? Identity Crisis is a compelling tale of a campaign that looked to violate every political norm but did not.
Identity Crisis transports its readers from the vicious primaries to an election night whose results shocked the experts. The book details how the candidates’ personalities interacted with the status of the economy, Obama’s administration, and the demographics of the political parties to create a presidency unlike any other in American history. The primary indicators pointed to a very tight election from the start. Although Trump’s many scandals gave Clinton a cushion for most of the campaign, the closeness of the race predicted by polls was confirmed by the votes cast by the American people.
Identity Crisis exposes how shifts in the Democratic and Republican coalitions, motivated by voters’ racial and ethnic identities, predicted Trump’s win. The campaign’s emphasis on racial, immigration, and religious issues further divided the public. The consequence was a titanic struggle over who would lead America and what kind of country America should be.
