Summary of Mark Leibovich's Thank You for Your Servitude

By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Everyone had a theory as to why it was their turn. Chris Christie believed that voters tend to favor presidential candidates who represent the biggest departure from the incumbent. He was that candidate.

#2 Trump’s popularity with the public proved to be an asset for him in the swamp, as it gave him credibility as an irritant. He was happy to play the turd in the Republican punch bowl. Trump was irredeemable with women voters, according to Barbara Bush.

#3 In 2016, the gap between Twitter and real life was much greater than it was in 2012. This was evident at Trump’s first rally, when I tried to interview a Trump supporter but was unable to because of the crowd’s intense dislike of political correctness.

#4 Trump was always going to win, and he did. The Republicans who kept voting for him by large margins were not who we are, as Rubio declared.
