Whether you’re a Democrat or Republican, what you don’t know about “running for president 101” might shock you. Nationally-syndicated columnist, Washington insider, West Point graduate, US Army Captain (ret.), recipient of two Silver Stars and the Purple Heart, Douglas Cohn doesn’t fool around (like the candidates!) when it comes to mixing up political facts with fiction. In his new book, The President’s First Year: None Were Prepared, Some Never Learned—Why the Only School for Presidents Is the Presidency (Lyons Press; 2015; $26.95 Hardcover; ISBN: 971493011926), Cohn dissects every past presidential action since Washington, describing how various commander-in-chiefs over the centuries learned (or not) from the mistakes they made during their first year in office; and from that discovery, clearly makes the case for what Trump needs to do and what Hillary desperately must avoid in order to win the White House.
Cohn’s non-partisan tome will change the way we view the candidates, and frankly, how sacred we should all hold the office of the president. For those on the campaign trail hoping to win a large, permanent place in American history, one fatal error or slip-up could shut the gates to the White House and end a career. Or, especially in today’s wildly unpredictable political climate, maybe not…
As a political talking head, commenting on anything—from the debates to the campaign trail, and referencing The President’s First Year as pure fact—Cohn can discuss:
• What caused this political race to morph into a popularity contest and a reality TV show?
• Are the voters absorbing these changes as a modern form of revolution?
• What five things should Donald Trump avoid or change?
• What five things should Hillary Clinton avoid or change?
• What must Bernie Sanders or Ted Cruz immediately embrace to take their party’s lead?
Douglas Cohn is the writer/owner of America’s longest running syndicated column, Washington Merry Go Round along with Eleanor Clift. A member of Critical Issues Roundtable, the Washington, D.C.-based think tank of retired generals, he is a graduate of West Point and the recipient of two Silver Stars and the Purple Heart. His previous TV appearances include A&E’s Biography Channel, the Military Channel, and CNBC. For more information, please go to http://www.douglascohn.com.
