    While this is in some ways a telling statistic, you need lead time to write a book, and well into February 2020, lots of people assumed Biden would not be the nominee.https://twitter.com/JStein_WaPo/status/1280876034720702464 …

    Very interesting catch from @daveweigel By this point in 2012, the conservative publisher Regnery was selling 13 books about Obama; in 2016, it was selling 12 about Clinton. This year: Regnery only has 1 on Biden https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/paloma/the-trailer/2020/07/07/the-trailer-who-s-afraid-of-joe-biden/5f00a17d602ff1080719519b/?_=ddid-2-1594158300&fbclid=IwAR3MFmCFgLE0WwIN6sSENApWltolH0bIdwijqS4af-EWaMdqKXh-rKg3jvA …

        I don't know the answer offhand, but...how many anti-Trump books were on the shelves in July 2016? Probably a lot fewer than the anti-W books in 2004 or 2000.

        Yeah, but look at the publication dates of the first four cited there: 1992, 1995, 2000, 2005. All a decade before he ran for office.https://twitter.com/SenatorZero/status/1280955206285643784 …

        There were already half a dozen anti-Trump biographies written before he went down that escalator. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/04/donald-trump-2016-campaign-biography-psychology-history-barrett-hurt-dantiono-blair-obrien-213835 …

        That was just poor judgement from politicos that were wishcasting their favorite candidate to be the nominee. There was a total of 30 days during the primary process that Biden wasn’t leading and leading by a large margin at that.

        You don't really need that long to write those types of books though.

        Kinda Dave’s point. They all (including people on this platform) misread the Democratic electorate.

        Trump voters don't read.

        Oh, c'mon, I'm sure there are plenty of anti-Seth Moulton bestsellers.
