Featured Keynote ProgramsThe Trump Triumph
Why He Won and Why the Media / Politicos Never Saw it Coming
The phenomenon of Donald Trump’s historic disruption of the American political system is a total surprise to some - but not all! Governor Mike Huckabee wrote about the movement and ideas in his NY Times Bestseller “God, Guns, Grits, and Gravy.”
Gov Huckabee posited that in his own candidacy, and eventually Trump's, why and how a grassroots campaign would happen. During the general election, Gov Huckabee was an early - and often lonely! - voice predicting Mr. Trump's success.
Combining first-hand experience with Mr. Trump and nearly 40 years political engagement with the Clintons, Gov speaks from a unique perspective. He speaks with clarity and comfort to those scratching their heads on both sides of the political aisle.
In this keynote, Gov Huckabee will share the current political realities and possible future actions, and he prepare attendees for what could be "next".
