I know. I’ve known the guy for more than a decade and have long had the deepest respect for him and his passion. And results! He’d walk through fire if he believed it could truly change the culture and narrative. Media-wise, that’s what he’s been known to do.
What attracts people to a Sarah Palin or Andrew Breitbart or dare I say Donald Trump is first and foremost a style that comes across as fearlessness. Trump’s clearly got that — what will attract people. Well, I can tell you that when you’ve got Breitbart, you’ve got the real deal.

And before you e-mail, “But what about …?” It’s in the book.
