Description:“No, the title doesn’t refer to the current crop of presidential hopefuls...but to the 1,000-plus people we never hear about who throw their hats into the ring every election. Who are they? Fun!” - People Magazine “A wonderful look at the personalities on the fringe of Presidential politics & the mind of Craig Tomashoff, who's drawn to them.” - Madeline Smithberg, co-creator of The Daily Show"A fascinating look into the campaign trail of a few candidates who are short on chances, but big on ideas." – Ken Bone, a.k.a. Red Sweater Guy “Citizens have a responsibility to be part of the election process. And here’s a little read to help you along with that. - Michael Steele, former Republican National Committee chairperson “Add to your reading list.” - David Duchovny“If someone like Malcolm Gladwell or David Sedaris had written this book (and Craig, in my opinion, is just as good a writer—certainly wittier, well as witty as David) I imagine it would have hit the bestseller lists by now…The book is great. If you love This American Life, you're bound to enjoy The Can't-idates.” - Liz Alexander, author, GoodReads“With some great tips, examples, and superb writing. Craig Tomashoff really sheds light on the Political world and gives pointers to those with aspirations.” - The Indie Express “This book was thought provoking and enlightening without being preachy. I enjoyed the humor and wit laced throughout it. It managed to lighten up the more serious nature of its topic.”- Texas Book Nook “Craig Tomashoff tells you that you have a choice, that you have alternatives. Alternatives that are like average people, real people whose walk into Chipotle doesn’t become news. They are there only if you care to look. Take the effort to do your electoral duty and take the pains to really hear beyond the chatter that millions of dollars buy every election cycle.” - Prasanna Bidkar, Non-Fiction Book Reviews “It’s a fun, enlightening read. There is a lot of heart here, kids. So order yourself a copy and get it into the hands of anyone and everyone who gives a shit about this country and the process involving the presidential process.” - Georgette Coan, Generation G Books blogAt 2:31 a.m. ET on Nov. 9, 2016, Donald Trump was declared president. By 2:32 a.m. ET, every pundit worth his or her cable news contract told us exactly why he won. It was simple, really. Voters who felt ignored for too long by career politicians like Hillary Clinton opted to elect a political novice who appeared to be “just like them.” If these experts had taken the pre-election journey that veteran journalist Craig Tomashoff did, though, they would have learned the answer was far more complex.The Can’t-idates: Running For President When Nobody Knows Your Name is his deeply personal and profoundly inspiring chronicle of a 10,000-mile journey across the country in search of a unique group of people who know better than most of us what’s really happening in the pundits’ “forgotten America”—some of the 1,800+ FEC-approved 2016 presidential candidates. From the biker in Boise to the would-be rapper in Las Vegas to the street preacher in Cleveland to the dying Vietnam vet in Florida, Tomashoff got to know a fascinating group of Can’t-idates (citizen candidates who keep getting told what they can’t do) whose faith in a system that excludes them is what can actually make America great again.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
