I have read every book available and they thought they were going to win until they saw Trumps actual numbers in rural Florida at about 7:15 to 7:45 PM election night.

This was the moment. One of Bill's old buddies from the 90s campaigns called him up when the returns out of the panhandle started coming in. In an election that was going to have majorly depressed turnout, there were North Florida counties that were doubling the early returns out of 2008 and 2012. Every old hand knew then that Hillary was in major trouble in the Midwest.
