The Madness of Michele Bachmann: A Broad-Minded Survey of a Small-Minded Candidate
When Michele Bachmann became a front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination of 2012, journalists began plumbing the depths of the well-regarded blog Dump Bachmann for material on her. Now the bloggers themselves pour forth a decade's worth of research and analysis to show that, no matter what you've heard about Bachmann, there's worse. Much worse. After dogging her heels for the past decade, they reveal the blood-curdling truth about the woman who almost became the Republican Party’s 2012 presidential nominee.
- Describes Bachmann's faith-based antischool agenda and antigay crusade
- Explores her fellow travelers, her problematic pastors, and criminal supporters, any of whom could become her Rev. Jeremiah Wright
- Reveals the boondoggles she's supported, the pernicious legislation she's championed (but, fortunately, almost never passed), and her foreign policy, which boils down to Jesus will be her Secretary of Defense
- Exposes the truth behind the notorious "Bathroomgate" incident
- Uncovers the influence of outside money on Bachmann's campaigns, causes, and policies
As Trumpism runs rampant in America, many are wondering where such fanatical beliefs come from as if it just appeared overnight. The Madness of Michele Bachman provides deep background on the radical conservative who almost became the 2012 nominee with similar ideology to President Trump proving these beliefs have been apparent in America for years.
