Were key factor FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A gripping in-depth account of the 2016 presidential election that explains Donald Trumps historic victory Donald Trumps 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 didnt. 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 Trumps 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 Trumps victory was foreshadowed by changes in the Democratic and Republican coalitions that were driven by peoples 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. Author Biography John Sides is professor of political science at George Washington University.

Review Praise for John Sides and Lynn Vavrecks The Gamble: Choice and Chance in the 2012 Presidential Election: "The 2012 election was when Moneyball defeated Game Change--and Sides and Vavreck explain why political scientists and number-crunchers were able to forecast the results well in advance, while the conventional wisdom was so often wrong. The Gamble is crisply written, comprehensively researched, and carefully argued. It provides the definitive account of what really happened and what really mattered in the campaign."--Nate Silver, author of The Signal and the Noise Praise for John Sides and Lynn Vavrecks The Gamble: Choice and Chance in the 2012 Presidential Election: "The book is a game-changer."--Ezra Klein, Bloomberg View Praise for John Sides and Lynn Vavrecks The Gamble: Choice and Chance in the 2012 Presidential Election: "[A] [g]ood, sane tome on how the fundamentals matter."--Tyler Cowen, Marginal Revolution Praise for John Sides and Lynn Vavrecks The Gamble: Choice and Chance in the 2012 Presidential Election: "In The Gamble, two super-smart thinkers lay out moneyball politics for anyone to understand."--Gregg Easterbrook, ESPN.com Long Description A gripping in-depth account of the 2016 presidential election that explains Donald Trumps historic victory Donald Trumps election victory stunned the world.

Review Quote "With the luxury of hindsight and analytical acumen, political scientists John Sides, Michael Tesler, and Lynn Vavreck have produced an exceptionally well-researched and insightful postmortem that soberly isolates the elections core significance: a polarizing debate over American identity spurred by immigration and demographic change. The result, Identity Crisis , is a definitive, statistically informed account of the 2016 presidential election." --Justin Gest, American Prospect Details ISBN0691174199 Author Lynn Vavreck Publisher Princeton University Press Year 2018 ISBN-10 0691174199 ISBN-13 9780691174198 Format Hardcover Imprint Princeton University Press Subtitle The 2016 Presidential Campaign and the Battle for the Meaning of America Place of Publication New Jersey Country of Publication United States Birth 1968 Media Book Language English Translated from English Pages 352 Publication Date 2018-10-30 Short Title Identity Crisis NZ Release Date 2018-10-30 US Release Date 2018-10-30 UK Release Date 2018-10-30 Illustrations 64 b/w illus., 16 tables DEWEY 324.9730932 Audience General AU Release Date 2019-01-06 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
