Game Change by John Heilemann

Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a LifetimeGame Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime by John Heilemann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m 10 years late to this book but fascinating to see the evolution of campaigns and how much things have changed. The concerns about divisive, racist, or incorrect rhetoric seem quaint in this era of vitriol and lies. For goodness sake, John Edwards campaign failed because he had an affair and broke campaign finance laws. Now compare that to the outrageous nonsense of 2016.

Really interesting to see how various campaigns were functional and dysfunctional. Seems like Hillary Clinton made a lot of the same mistakes in 2016 that she made in 2008.
