And i want to talk about the book primary politics everything you need to know about how america nominates its president ial candidates every four years those who voted before in the primaries scratched their head at some point to say where did this crazy system come from . This book is an attempt to answer that question. And every once in awhile this system breaks down with an oldfashioned contested primary. Let me read you the beginning of the book. Senator clinton walked into the small
As a tourist, as a former resident of washington, d. C. And a resident of other parts of the United States, and its just such an honor and a pleasure to be here as a speaker and to talk about my book pivotal tuesdays. Im also so pleased that you all exhibited this interest in a such an obscure subject that no one seems to pay any attention to, president ial elections. Why cant we get the papers to write about president ial candidates, i dont know. But more seriously, were more than a year away from election day. 2016. Or maybe less than a year now, arent we . But we have already seen some remarkable moments emerge in this election cycle. We have had a huge celebrity who put the political establishment on the run, a whole slew of outsider candidates on both the right and the left ends of the political spectrum.

Because the reality is that when the war games occurred in classified settings, they would just shoot those damn things off and destroy humanity. Those god damn things off and destroy humanity. Thats not necessarily reflected in sort of techno porn books like clancy does, which are basically feel good things that sort of america wins. The ba

Sometimes people think of the word pivotal as synonymous for the phrase turning point. Uhhuh. I was a little surprised you didnt mention that starting in 1932, democrats had a plurality or a majority in seven of the next nine president ial campaigns. Yeah. Starting in 1968, republicans had a plurality or a majority in five of the next six president ial campaigns. Uhhuh. And starting in 1992 democrats again had plurality or majority in five of the next six president ial campaigns. But thats not my question. My question really is, my question really is, is there something about substantial third Party Candidacies that exemplify pivotal election and should we expect this coming election will be pivotal only if there is a substantial thirdparty candidacy and probably not otherwise . Thats a thats a super question. I that is that is i hadnt thought
