Book excerpt: Never Trump? Never Hillary? What if both could be true? Do you find yourself disappointed by the two-party system? Do you like the idea of voting for someone else but hate the idea of wasting your vote? What if Never Trump and Never Hillary could both actually turn out to be true? In Backdoor to the White House, Clark Vandeventer tells a crazy story that might just come true. From Election Night to Inauguration Day, Vandeventer weaves a captivating story of what happens after Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate for president and former two-term governor of New Mexico wins his home state. By picking up New Mexico's five electoral votes, neither Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton get to 270 electoral votes, the necessary number to be elected president. A cloud of confusion covers the country when Election Night fails to produce a winner. What would Donald Trump say to supporters that night? Wouldn't you like to be in the room to hear the conversations between Hillary Clinton and her top campaign strategists the next morning? What high profile politicians would suddenly throw their support behind Gary Johnson? Vandeventer describes all of this in vivid detail. For the first time since the election of 1824, the 12th Amendment is enacted and the House of Representatives will select the next president. Vandeventer goes inside the campaigns and behind closed doors as candidates offer cabinet positions and ambassadorships trying to woo support from members of Congress. Vandeventer takes you on a journey that ends with the inaugurating of a new president. You won't be able to put this book down until you know who wins, and how it happens. It's a political fiction like no other. Or is it not fiction at all? Learn more at BackdoorToTheWhiteHouse.com

Download or read book Team Trump and the Evangelical White House written by G. J. Hocking and published by G. J. Hocking. This book was released on 2020-06-26 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Team Trump and the Evangelical White House, the author paints perhaps a different picture of Donald J. Trump than you will find in the mainstream media. With so many Trump-Thumping articles, opinion pieces, and news stories doing the rounds today, it is refreshing, therefore, to get a glimpse into a different side of the Trump White House. Surprisingly, the author shows a faith-friendly president, whose relationship with evangelicals goes back nearly two decades. As the author proposes throughout--Trump's Team has energized evangelical Christians--in a way, not seen for a long time. Some even hark back in their comparisons of the current White House to the Reagan-era. This was when the well-known Moral Majority backed a former-Hollywood actor launching Ronald Reagan into the fortieth presidency. The book begins by exploring why picking V P Pence made sense in bringing evangelicals on board with the Trump agenda. You'll also see how the White House welcome mat is once again out for evangelicals as the front door is always open to people of faith. Prayer Force One will give you a glimpse; perhaps of a side of Donald Trump, you may not have seen as he prays with faith leaders. These fifteen chapters will look at how the White House was won, and may yet be won again with evangelical support in 2020.

Download or read book My 21 Years in the White House written by Alonzo Fields and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My 21 Years in the White House, first published in 1960, is the fascinating account by Alonzo Fields of his service as head butler under 4 presidents: Hoover, Roosevelt, Truman, and Eisenhower. Fields (1900-1994) began his employment at the White House in 1931, and kept a journal of his meetings with the presidents and their families; he would also meet important people like Winston Churchill, Princess Elizabeth of England, Thomas Edison, John D. Rockefeller, presidential cabinet members, senators, representatives, and Supreme Court Justices. He would also witness presidential decision-making at critical times in American history -- the attack on Pearl Harbor, the death of Franklin Roosevelt, the desegregation of the military, and the outbreak of hostilities in Korea. As Fields often told his staff, “...remember that we are helping to make history. We have a small part ... but they can't do much here without us. They've got to eat, you know.” Included are sample menus prepared for visiting heads-of-state and foreign dignitaries.

Download or read book From My Old Kentucky Home to the White House written by Catherine Conner and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lively memoir recounts the story of a determined woman who led a remarkable life in the highest circles of power in both state and national politics. Catherine Conner spent her formative years on a farm named "Solitude," located outside of Bardstown. Her father, who taught her early to ride and swim, told the young woman, "I can't teach you how to be a lady, but I can teach you how to behave like a gentleman." She was weaned on a secret "early breakfast" of bourbon and milk toddies that her father brought to her every morning. Though she enjoyed privilege, Conner also witnessed the harsher sides of rural life. Those experiences markedly shaped the personality of a woman who would become the youngest National Democratic Committeewoman and would subsequently serve in FDR's inner circle. Conner began her political career in Kentucky under the tutelage of J. Dan Talbott of Bardstown, heading the successful effort to have Federal Hill, better known as "My Old Kentucky Home," preserved as a state park, which has now become one of the most popular in Kentucky. When local leaders proved only mildly supportive of the project, Conner devised a campaign in 1921 that raised $45,000 by having schoolchildren all over the state drop their pennies into a cardboard replica of the famous home. She acted as a special assistant to Harry Hopkins for five years, helping set up departments to carry out New Deal programs and lobbying. She befriended many of the shapers of the 20th Century, including Senator Sam Rayburn, A.B. "Happy" Chandler, and Senator Harry Byrd of Virginia. Throughout her life, Conner witnessed remarkable events. She saw the Hindenburg crash, met Amelia Earhart, and had Cary Grant show her how to gut a Thanksgiving turkey.
Download or read book Predicting the Next President written by Allan J. Lichtman and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-07-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the days after Donald Trump’s unexpected victory on election night 2016, The New York Times, CNN, and other leading media outlets reached out to one of the few pundits who had correctly predicted the outcome, Allan J. Lichtman. While many election forecasters base their findings exclusively on public opinion polls, Lichtman looks at the underlying fundamentals that have driven every presidential election since 1860. Using his 13 historical factors or “keys” (four political, seven performance, and two personality), Lichtman had been predicting Trump’s win since September 2016. In the updated 2024 edition, he applies the keys to every presidential election since 1860 and shows readers the current state of the 2024 race. In doing so, he dispels much of the mystery behind electoral politics and challenges many traditional assumptions. An indispensable resource for political junkies!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Permanent Married Quarters of a naval base to the little white house at the end of the road, Lynda M. Buckman and her family have lived a life of fun, adventure, and great love. Military service in their young adulthood and early marriage gave the author and her husband the tools they needed to facilitate strong communication throughout their now five-decades’ long partnership, including in their roles as parents, entrepreneurs, homesteaders, and hobby farmers. In four parts, each encompassing a different home, the author recounts her tales of lessons learned in short anecdotes that are at once comfortingly universal and delightfully original. Told with humour and a lot of heart, The Journey to a Little White House is the story of a wistful dream that became a beautiful reality.
Download or read book The Path to Power written by Robert A. Caro and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1990-02-17 with total page 961 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Years of Lyndon Johnson is the political biography of our time. No president—no era of American politics—has been so intensively and sharply examined at a time when so many prime witnesses to hitherto untold or misinterpreted facets of a life, a career, and a period of history could still be persuaded to speak. The Path to Power, Book One, reveals in extraordinary detail the genesis of the almost superhuman drive, energy, and urge to power that set LBJ apart. Chronicling the startling early emergence of Johnson’s political genius, it follows him from his Texas boyhood through the years of the Depression in the Texas hill Country to the triumph of his congressional debut in New Deal Washington, to his heartbreaking defeat in his first race for the Senate, and his attainment, nonetheless, of the national power for which he hungered. We see in him, from earliest childhood, a fierce, unquenchable necessity to be first, to win, to dominate—coupled with a limitless capacity for hard, unceasing labor in the service of his own ambition. Caro shows us the big, gangling, awkward young Lyndon—raised in one of the country’s most desperately poor and isolated areas, his education mediocre at best, his pride stung by his father’s slide into failure and financial ruin—lunging for success, moving inexorably toward that ultimate “impossible” goal that he sets for himself years before any friend or enemy suspects what it may be. We watch him, while still at college, instinctively (and ruthlessly) creating the beginnings of the political machine that was to serve him for three decades. We see him employing his extraordinary ability to mesmerize and manipulate powerful older men, to mesmerize (and sometimes almost enslave) useful subordinates. We see him carrying out, before his thirtieth year, his first great political inspiration: tapping-and becoming the political conduit for-the money and influence of the new oil men and contractors who were to grow with him to immense power. We follow, close up, the radical fluctuations of his relationships with the formidable “Mr. Sam” Raybum (who loved him like a son and whom he betrayed) and with FDR himself. And we follow the dramas of his emotional life-the intensities and complications of his relationships with his family, his contemporaries, his girls; his wooing and winning of the shy Lady Bird; his secret love affair, over many years, with the mistress of one of his most ardent and generous supporters . . . Johnson driving his people to the point of exhausted tears, equally merciless with himself . . . Johnson bullying, cajoling, lying, yet inspiring an amazing loyalty . . . Johnson maneuvering to dethrone the unassailable old Jack Garner (then Vice President of the United States) as the New Deal’s “connection” in Texas, and seize the power himself . . . Johnson raging . . . Johnson hugging . . . Johnson bringing light and, indeed, life to the worn Hill Country farmers and their old-at-thirty wives via the district’s first electric lines. We see him at once unscrupulous, admirable, treacherous, devoted. And we see the country that bred him: the harshness and “nauseating loneliness” of the rural life; the tragic panorama of the Depression; the sudden glow of hope at the dawn of the Age of Roosevelt. And always, in the foreground, on the move, LBJ. Here is Lyndon Johnson—his Texas, his Washington, his America—in a book that brings us as close as we have ever been to a true perception of political genius and the American political process.
