LEARNING FROM LOSS

The Democrats, 2016-2020

'Seth Masket has written an engaging, illuminating and thought-provoking book, one that adeptly combines broad theoretical sweep with fine granular detail. This rigorous and original study sheds valuable light on timely - and timeless - debates in American politics.' 

— Molly Ball, TIME national political correspondent and author of Pelosi

'There’s no better guide to the 2020 Democratic Party nomination process than Seth Masket. Learning from Loss shows how explanations for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 loss - accurate or not - set the stage for activists’ judgments of the 2020 candidates, paving the way for Joe Biden’s nomination.'

— Matt Grossmann, Political Scientist at Michigan State University

'Catnip for election watchers and politics junkies, who will want to reread the book when the dust of 2020 settles.'

— Kirkus
