August 2, 2019 – Book review: Still Winning by Charles Hurt

        Doing a bit of weeding and resting the foot – I don’t want to overdo - the much anticipated book, “Still Winning” – Why America went all in on Donald Trump – and Why we must do it again, author Charles Hurt arrived yesterday and I inhaled it until the wee hours of the night and just now polished it off. 

        Quite an interesting history lesson on how we got to this impasse in government.

        Of course, the book is written for Trump lovers – not Trump haters, but if you are a fence sitter – I think you need to read it. If you are a deranged Trump hater – maybe your conscience can nudge you into reading it to see the other side of the situation.

        Surprisingly the book is not 100% Trump.  It takes you on a journey from the June 16, 2015 column penned by Charles Hunt for The Washington Times who was one of the few journalists that “Got who Trump was and what he was running on and for.”  Charles Hurt delves into how he sees Washington, the media, the elites, the politicians and outlines it all in succinct bits of history of prior candidates, prior presidencies and their failures.  It concludes with bits of an interview with President Donald J. Trump this spring.

        It is a refreshing history lesson that all Americans have lived through in the last couple of decades and polishes up the reasons why Americans voted for the “See the problem – solve the problem,” Trump businessman that was voted into the Oval office.

        Charles Hurt is an incredible wordsmith.  The book is, fast moving, crisp and clear – I highly recommend this book – hot off the press – First Edition, July 2019.
