A gripping in-depth account of the 2016 presidential election that
explains Donald Trump's historic victory Donald Trump's election
victory stunned the world. How did he pull it off? Was it his
appeal to alienated voters in the battleground states? Was it
Hillary Clinton and the scandals associated with her long career in
politics? Were key factors already in place before the nominees
were even chosen? Identity Crisis provides a gripping account of
the campaign that appeared to break all the political rules--but in
fact didn't. Identity Crisis takes readers from the bruising
primaries to an election night whose outcome defied the predictions
of the pollsters and pundits. The book shows how fundamental
characteristics of the nation and its politics--the state of the
economy, the Obama presidency, and the demographics of the
political parties--combined with the candidates' personalities and
rhetoric to produce one of the most unexpected presidencies in
history. Early on, the fundamental characteristics predicted an
extremely close election. And even though Trump's many
controversies helped Clinton maintain a comfortable lead for most
of the campaign, the prediction of a close election became reality
when Americans cast their votes. Identity Crisis reveals how
Trump's victory was foreshadowed by changes in the Democratic and
Republican coalitions that were driven by people's racial and
ethnic identities. The campaign then reinforced and exacerbated
those cleavages as it focused on issues related to race,
immigration, and religion. The result was an epic battle not just
for the White House but about what America is and should be.
