Reasons to Vote for Democrats: A Comprehensive Guide is a book which claims to be the "most exhaustively researched and coherently argued Democrat Party apologia to date" but consists of 266 mostly blank pages, or 256 according to the Los Angeles Times.[1] The book's author is Michael J. Knowles, host of "The Michael Knowles Show" on the conservative news website The Daily Wire. It became the number one best-selling book on Amazon.com.[2][3]
Critic Roger Kimball wrote a long review in The Weekly Standard, asserting that "Knowles has matched matter and message with rare economy" and that "it is for the substance of his analysis that Knowles's study will be remembered." [4]
On April 17, 2017, President Donald Trump mentioned the book on Twitter, calling it "a great book for your reading enjoyment."[5][6][7]
