U.S. Politics: Why Who You Vote For Matters

About the Book

During the 2008 presidential election campaign, a close friend was concerned that much of the electorate did not know what either political party stands for. He asked me to write a white paper that describes their positions. He knew my training materials have a reputation for being "clear, concise and valid." Clear means easy to understand. Concise means all parties interpret them the same way. Valid means they are 99.99% accurate. I tried but the needed clarity was not forthcoming. I proceeded to watch Obama win the 2008 election over McCain and the 2012 election over Romney. I also watched Trump win the 2016 election over Clinton. After 2 years into President Trump's term, the two parties are more divided than ever. The two parties are now engaged in a cold civil war that is on the edge of turning hot. I decided to give this white paper another try.
