‘The Black Swan Election’

Tony Fabrizio: “If you look at all the events that took place and said, now we’re going to have an election and just one of them is going to occur — you’d say, ‘Wow, that’s incredible.’ You have two assassination attempts. The incumbent candidate leaving in the middle of the race. You had his replacement being chosen without getting a single vote. You had all of these different things happening — candidate getting indicted. Candidate getting convicted.”

“Those were all challenges that we faced. Nothing was inevitable to us. We knew that the environment was primed for us to be victorious. But it was us — think about a farm, right. You got all of this fertile land but if you don’t farm it right, you’re not going to get a crop.”
