How Trump Won the White House: Collusion, Collapse, and Chaos (Ep 3)

A campaign trail like no other. Both sides experienced ups and
downs aplenty. As August began Hillary was soaring in the polls
whilst Trump’s campaign was bogged down by accusations of Russian
collusion. Fast forward six weeks and the polls were narrowing.
Trump had a new campaign team, his speeches were clearer and more
coherent, and he was frenetically flying around the country.
Meanwhile, Hillary had collapsed at the 9/11 memorial and called
half of Trump’s supporters ‘deplorables’. Then came the October
Surprises. After the release of the Access Hollywood tapes it
seemed like it was all over for Trump, but then James Comey
announced that the FBI were again looking at the Clinton email
case, meaning America careered towards election day with Trump
gaining on Hillary. In the third episode of The Rest is Politics:
US’ series on How Donald Trump Won the White House, listen as
Anthony and Katty look at the campaign trail and the way the
momentum continually swung from one candidate to another.
