If you are watching this thinking this may as the title claims, an analysis of why Donald Trump pulled off an incredible electoral upset, be prepared for a major disappointment. It's more about how these 3 arrogant, snide and condescending left wing "journalists" (Heilemann, Halperin & McKinnon) stroll through the media tents with access to behind the scenes areas of both campaign headquarters with an astonishing air of self-importance. I never watched the SHO series, "The Circus" and from watching this documentary, I didn't miss much. This is very heavily edited and slanted to make Trump supporters all look a bunch of reactionary escapees from a looney bin, plus glossing over the many, many faults of Hillary Clinton who may be as bad of a candidate that any party has ever nominated. Never voted for Bill or Obama, but I will admit that they were both excellent campaigners, especially WJC who was a very charismatic politician.If you are a Trump supporter, DVR it and fast forward to the final 15 minutes of election night. It's fun again to see the so-called expert pundits with excrement all over their faces. Plus their analysis of what occurred was spot wrong. They still didn't get what happened, ignoring the huge losses suffered by the Dems in all other elections across the country, except for the left coast and northeast. I guess from the left's POV the closing music, some sort of funeral dirge, was completely appropriate.

I watched this show...twice. I wanted to ensure that my first opinion was not correct; give them a second chance, if you will. Oh well, I've been wrong before in giving second chances. As this election progressed, it became more and more apparent that the media showed prejudice with their interpretations, rather than reporting. This show contained nothing more than opinions by an obviously prejudiced group of over-paid people. They over-embellished on almost everything they stated as "fact!" John Heilemann's abusive language was insulting to listen to...he had to use the "f" bomb at every available opportunity; which was not necessary. If he thought he was "being cool" in some way, he certainly was NOT. No one in my home speaks like that and I did not appreciate my 96-year-old mother having to listen to his disgusting language. Mark Halperin's comment, comparing Mr. Trump's winning the election equal to The Civil War, WWII, and 9/11 was one of the most idiotic remarks I have ever heard; it just proves the fact that the media is not what it used to be. REAL media personnel, like Walter Cronkite, told the truth the way it was; why do these reporters feel they have the right to give us nothing more than their poor interpretations. This entire election has shown us all that the media has gone to hell on a handcart and is most certainly not a trustworthy source of information of any kind. This is pathetic because, as always, WE, the citizens, are missing hearing the truth. WE, the citizens, continue to lose because Congress will not do their jobs and assist the man that the majority voted into office. He is the President of the United States and deserves the respect and assistance required to do a good job for ALL of us, but he cannot do that with his hands tied behind his back by Congress! After watching this show, I thought of the American saying, "Land of the free, home of the brave." Thanks to the debacle during this entire election, they may as well change that line to "Land where NOTHING is free; home of the homeless," because of the media and Congress. They are destroying us all. Thanks a lot for doing your part in making the United States of America a bigger laughing stock of the world than it already is. You cannot blame Mr. Trump for THAT. Wow, maybe there WAS more truth to this airing; just not the truth we were all hoping for.

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.

It's an insult to Fox, CBS, CNN, etc., to call the material in "Trumped" unprecedented. And the slant is clearly anti-Trump. Virulently so.Still, there's a lot of good news footage and some excellent interview material here. Nice piece of history, once we reach the point where the 2016 election isn't a just-gone-by current event. Too bad no effort was put into the reason the election came out the way it did. The obvious bias of the hosts/moderators is another drawback. There didn't seem to be even an attempt to explain the why of the outcome, just the disbelief of the non-winners.
