Status Updates From Battle for the Soul: Inside...

This is a very upsetting reading experience, but I can't stop!

Setting the tone for Obama’s presidency.

Frustration with the economy.

The days leading up to the 2016 election.

Clinton concedes to Trump.

Obama tries to make sense of Hillary’s lose in 2016.

‘All I want to do is see Joe win,’ Warren says behind the scenes right after dropping out of the race. 🙄

Damn Jim Clyburn.

The human absurdity of our leaders and would-be leaders is always capable of surprising me. Warren and Sanders, for example, holding a two-hour meeting in which both of them were hoping the other person would go first—and neither doing so—is funnier than anything on SNL.

I've read a good deal about the Reign of America's Worst President from the perspective of the White House and the perspective of the GOP. That just leaves the people who ran to remove him from office.

Pretty interesting, so far.

Almost done 😅

All over the place in terms of timeline, but some great analysis

Note to self: Biden got to meet Franco Harris AND have a Lady Gaga concert for himself in the stadium. Wut.

Meh.

Great book so far.

“Why do people think censorship is Orwellian?” —Dovere

Dovere is a huge trauma-monger, and it’s really affecting my impression of this book.

Aaaaand here come the hysterics. I'm pretty sure this is why no one is buying 2020 election books.

It's kind of fun when Dovere flies into a rage.

The author appears to hate every candidate except for Biden

Really getting the feeling that Dovere wanted to write a book about Obama but couldn't get the ok from his publisher..

The histrionics over Trump feel even sillier now that he’s out of office.

Dovere doesn't seem to have a high opinion of either Sanders or Warren.

Underwhelming so far, although I enjoyed the story about how 20-something-year-old Biden told a staffer to keep the stapler he lent her so that she could one day tell people that this stapler once belonged to President Biden.
