The Ticket: Beating Donald Trump, With David Plouffe – The Atlantic

David Plouffe got it very wrong in 2016.

After confidently predicting Donald Trumps defeat, the campaign manager credited with Barack Obamas historic 2008 victory watched a reality-television star become commander in chief. Four years later, Plouffe says he rewatched that Election Night. Over and over.

And after absorbing the lessons of that day, hes written a book on what Democrats need to do to defeat Trumpa reelection battle that, as he told Edward-Isaac Dovere on the latest episode of The Ticket: Politics From The Atlantic, probably has the biggest stakes the countrys ever known. They discuss the presidents reelection campaign, the state of the Democratic Party, and a nomination fight thats suddenly become a two-man race.
