Summary:

The original research illuminates a neglected yet crucial narrative of Trump’s rise. It wasn’t Comey or the Russians. Trump prevailed because his campaign carefully targeted key states with late infusions of big money from private equity, casinos, and other far right contributors, a remarkable wave of donations
