This book chronicles the most bizarre presidential election in modern memory, the 2016 election. Beginning with the 2014 mid-terms and written contemporaneously with events and with the impressions and interpretations then apparent, the book follows the battles for the Republican and Democratic nominations and ultimately the titanic clash between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and billionaire entrepreneur/entertainer Donald Trump. Unlike every other book written about the 2016 election, this was a chronicle, not a history written in hindsight and thus provides a unique perspective as one tries to answer the question: How 'did Donald Trump come to be President.
