    In the article, Absorbing the Impossible, Maureen Dowd, a feminist and a slight liberal lean, suggests that Donald Trump won the President-elect because of the hidden Trump supporters and the misunderstood lack of Clinton supporters throughout the nation.

Using these examples, Dowd illuminates how Trump was able…

The further Cadin travels into this mystery, the more he brings the past to present. In following with the expectations of a detective novel, there are times when Cadin receives bogus leads (p. 73), fails to follow procedure (p. 113), or flat out abandons the case at hand in pursuit of the bizarre heist at the height on the mystery. Throughout the story, we are rarely given the chance to breathe.…
