BROKEN ENGAGEMENT: Why a Donald Trump Win in the 2016 Presidential Election Defies the Predictions of the Media and the Political Establishment

No US. Presidential election has been as dramatic as the 2016 race for the White House. From the primaries in both the Republican and Democratic camps, mavericks rose to prominence that challenged the status quo, exposed the follies of the country's political establishment and vowed to bring a new dawn to America. These unorthodox candidates did so without seeking financial assistance from the groups that traditionally financed past political candidates.

As individuals, the Republican maverick Donald Trump succeeded in winning the nomination of the party he recently became a member against a long list of seventeen other candidates; Bernie Sanders his Democratic counterpart narrowly lost the bid to represent the Democratic Party he too recently joined in a process whose partially was opened to questioning. Then he threw his support behind the Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton, hoping to see her defeat Donald Trump whom he distrusts so much.

No presidential candidate in history has been demonized by the media as much as Donald Trump, no president candidate ran a campaign as unconventional as Donald Trump, no presidential candidate ever saw the cream of the party he is representing desert him as much as Donald Trump, no president presidential candidate has faced an opponent with a powerful retinue of surrogates as Donald Trump. and no presidential candidate has ever seemed self-destructive as Donald Trump. Yet the Republican nominee is forging ahead and may win the election.

What are the logic-defying factors behind Donald Trump's rise and recoveries that political pundits and the media have failed to explain? This account provides answers that may unravel the Donald Trump riddle.
