And the one man with a real chance of defeating the twice-impeached president will finally be on that stage. Stand-up comic Charlie Wyatt launched his career on the back of the man, often referring to him as DUPHUS \u2013 like POTUS, only not. Charlie voted for him in 2016, only to wake up the next morning with a monumental hangover and the sudden realization of what he\u2019d done. <\/span><\/p>\n He couldn\u2019t take his vote back. But with the help of his politico girlfriend Laura, he could<\/em> challenge the man for the party\u2019s nomination. And now thanks to Laura\u2019s powerful new strategy, it seems Charlie may have a real shot. <\/span><\/p>\n But to win it he\u2019ll have to survive the night. And that won\u2019t just be about scheming gotcha questions or juvenile put-downs. Because the conspiracy-driven madness of his partisan adversaries, has placed Charlie in the crosshairs. So as the debate gets under way, and the tension around him builds, nothing less than Charlie\u2019s life and the future of the nation hang in the balance.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/gp\/product\/B08LYR87T2?pf_rd_r=FY2Z9VCHNA0728DN4HK9&pf_rd_p=05326fd5-c43e-4948-99b1-a65b129fdd73″ button_text=”BUY FROM AMAZON” admin_label=”Button: buy amazon” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”14px” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”#115699″ button_border_width=”8px” button_border_color=”#115699″ button_letter_spacing=”2px” button_font=”Nunito|700|||||||” button_use_icon=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Author Section” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ background_color=”#F9F1E5″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_direction=”90deg” background_color_gradient_stops=”rgba(253,245,232,0.04) 70%|#f5f5f5 70%” background_color_gradient_start=”rgba(253,245,232,0.04)” background_color_gradient_start_position=”70%” background_color_gradient_end=”#f5f5f5″ background_color_gradient_end_position=”0%” parallax=”on” custom_margin=”|||” custom_margin_tablet=”0px|||” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding=”100px|0|2px|||” custom_padding_tablet=”70px||120px|” custom_padding_phone=”” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ module_id=”about_us” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”27px||6px|||” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”70px||70px|” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text disabled_on=”on|off|off” admin_label=”Title” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ text_font=”Nunito|600|||||||” text_font_size=”20px” header_font=”||||||||” header_font_size=”80px” header_2_font=”Abhaya Libre|700|||||||” header_2_text_align=”left” header_2_font_size=”50px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_4_font=”Nunito|700||on|||||” header_4_text_align=”right” header_4_text_color=”#115699″ header_4_font_size=”12px” header_4_letter_spacing=”2px” header_4_line_height=”1.8em” header_6_font=”Nunito|600|||||||” header_6_text_color=”#666666″ header_6_font_size=”18px” header_6_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin=”-55px||5px|||” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” animation_intensity_slide=”5%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” header_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_font_size_phone=”” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”-1px|||||” custom_padding=”21px||10px|||” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” animation_intensity_slide=”5%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bartholomew St. James <\/strong><\/span>is a one-time political operative, and lifelong political observer, who\u2019s turned his talents to reporting on the politics of our day.

And that is why I thought the title – The Contrarian Candidate- is apt and witty. A huge chunk of the novel centres around the Presidential debate between Charlie and Teddy Tuff, who is sort of an incarnate of the current President and is standing in for him during the debate. <\/span><\/p>\n The debate dissects topics from the trade war with China to the President’s notorious sexist remarks that created an uproar across the world. The author goes into depth into these topics and these parts make for an insightful read. Charlie, who himself had voted for the President in 2016, is witty and likeable. But very realistically, the author also exposes the flaws and vulnerabilities of Charlie and if his comedian’s wit is enough to topple the conniving incumbent and hold the most powerful position in the world. At the macro level, the author seeks to explore the degree of truth in the old adage that politics is a dirty game.<\/span> The author has also successfully portrayed the consequence of the incumbent President’s regime that has stoked nothing but divisions and hatred.<\/span><\/p>\n Like many perhaps, there is a yearning in the author’s voice for a world where people agreed to disagree and the atmosphere was relatively harmonious and less suffocating. This quote encapsulates this well:“There was a time not so long ago … when we didn\u2019t feel such distance and such hatred towards each other. But nowadays it seems like things have gotten so bad that most of us can\u2019t even remember that world, can\u2019t even remember when we could actually talk to each other.”One can only hope for a return to some semblance of that period when we were more tolerant towards each other.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n \n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Review – McLeish”
