Trumped: Inside the Greatest Political Upset of All Time

I've watched "the circus - the greatest etc..." from day one.

It ended before election day with the presenters effectively saying they'd eat their hats if trump got elected.

what an anti-climax.

Subsequently Heilemann and Halperin and their show "with all due respect" were dropped by bloomberg during a changing of the guard.

I was gutted ... where was the follow up? Where were they eating their hats (figuratively)? I'm half way through this 'finale' because I'm savouring watching the second half.

I only wish the brits had done a similar show on brexit - they probably will in time.

My only criticism is that there is too much cursing by Heilemann which he must think is either cool or acceptable.

First, there is little original in this documentary: it is 100% taken from "The Circus," the Showtime series on the 2016 election with Mark Halperin, Mark Mckinnon, and John Heilemann, liberals all. Second, for the subtitle "Inside the Greatest Political Upset of All Time," there is almost zero understanding of why this happened.

Heilemann's final "Americans wanted to throw a bomb into Washington and see where the rubble bounces" comment was not enlightening as to WHY a bomb is needed in the first place, or why the horrid Obama regime had drive so many white, black and Hispanic Americans to desperation. Van Jones's inane comments about the election being about race shows (thank God) that the moronic media still doesn't even begin to understand what happened. One would think a movie like this would have tried to explain just that.

There is an amazing scene, totally un-commented upon (probably unnoticed) that occurs with Heilemann and Halperin immediately after Trump won the primary as they sit at a restaurant with Robbie Mook and John Podesta. The Politico guys are saying in essence, "Well, his tactics worked so far, but they won't work on you, right? RIGHT????" Mook was all sunshine pumping, but Podesta looked very, very concerned and said that the traditional slime tactics used by Democrats would not work on Trump, that he was impervious to that. My belief is that the knew then they were in for a helluva fight, and on the night before the election--in a clip the movie did NOT use---again Halperin asked Podesta about his confidence and rather than saying they had it in the bag, he deflected, dodged, and was again very, very concerned (cause he knew the real numbers, and likely was afraid to tell Hillary).

The documentary did an extreme disservice by not capturing any of Hillary's meltdown on election night. but overall, the lack of any serious analysis as to Trump's strengths, the lack of curiosity as to why virtually EVERY poll was wrong at state levels---this is a lame attempt and we still await a real, solid documentary about the election.

The beginning of the movie when the focus was on the Republican primaries came across as relatively unbiased, but the coverage of the race after the conventions became completely unhinged. The blatant pro-Clinton bias of Halperin was bad enough but Heileman was absolutely insufferable.

Furthermore, most of the "news" clips were from CNN and MSNBC, two channels that don't practice responsible journalism. And like the MSM coverage during the campaign, little or no attention was paid to the many Clinton scandals or her poorly run campaign- just a brief mention of those leaked emails.

And the ending was pitiful - extensive coverage inside the Javits Center where Clinton was to have given a victory speech - the 3 "pundits" (especially Heileman) reacting with Snowflake-like disbelief at the outcome. I thought Heileman was going to start sobbing at any moment. Plus, attendees were filmed watching the developing election results on monitors tuned to the Clinton News Network. It's no wonder they were "stunned".

At the ending, we were supposed to feel sad and depressed (check out the melancholy ending theme music) about Trump's victory which is about what I expected from a channel like Showtime. It has some good moments, especially from early in the campaign, but after the conventions, the movie descends into blatant Democratic bias.

If you choose to watch this, you'll be thinking at the end, "Well, there's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back." Unless, of course, you are interested in learning more about how out of touch liberals are these days.

I won't comment on the politics that other reviewers did. That belongs on Facebook, not here.

This captures the excitement of the campaign. I love how they used music to heighten the drama. The film captured how angry half of America was. And the end captured the poignant sadness that the democrats had at the outcome and the joy that Trump voters had.

The only thing I'd change would be to cut some of the middle part which showed the long campaign. That was repetitive and probable only interesting to political wonks.

I watched the series The Circus. This is a nice ending to that series. It wraps up the crazy election.

This turned out to be the best way of showing why Trump won. The entire #MSM couldn't have done more to help her win. The "experts" were brought to tears over the fact that she lost. They are so lost to cognitive dissonance that they STILL can't see that Trump won because the VOTERS see what the media, Hollywood, Washington DC did. Hillary Clinton was A TERRIBLE CANDIDATE and a worse human being. Here we are 3yrs later and the people that claimed POTUS wouldn't accept the outcome Still haven't accepted she lost!
