#1

Steve Bannon, the Trump campaign manager, was watching the news when he saw CNN's Jim Acosta report that Trump would need a miracle to win. He couldn't believe how much Kellyanne Conway cared about appearances.

#2

Steve Bannon, Trump’s new campaign chief, was despised by both Republicans and Democrats. He had a personal motto: Honey badger don’t give a shit.

#3

Bannon was a human hand grenade, and he was all set to help Trump blow up the Republican party. Trump, on the other hand, saw something in him that he liked.

#4

Trump's declaration of his candidacy in 2015 was a bitter paean to American nationalism. He quickly veered into an attack on Mexican immigrants as criminals and rapists. By the time he left Texas, Trump had rocketed to first place in polls of Republican primary voters.

#5

Trump rigorously carried out his part of the job, going so far as to call Clinton corrupt to her face at a charity dinner. A week later, FBI director James Comey reopened the investigation into her private e-mail server.

#6

The campaign had curtailed most of its polling, but not its predictions. It was clear that the FBI's investigation of Hillary Clinton was unsettling the electorate. The report stated that the last few days had proven to be pivotal in the minds of voters, and that early polling numbers showed declining support for Clinton and shifting support for Trump.

#7

The campaign had set up operations on the fifth floor, which was once used as production offices for Trump's reality TV show The Apprentice. The most exclusive members of the crew squeezed into a small storage room. The numbers they were seeing on their laptops did not match up.

#8

The media blew it. They were so focused on the early votes in Latino-heavy counties that they didn’t see how Trump was going to win. The results in Michigan, Wisconsin, and later Florida proved them wrong.

#9

Trump was surrounded by friends, aides, and family members, but there seemed to be a hidden force field around him that discouraged a direct approach. Trump eventually went and sat down, apparently needing to absorb the gravity of what was happening.

#10

Trump had no concession speech, and he was extremely superstitious. He didn’t want to jinx himself by writing two speeches ahead of time. So he never prepared a concession speech.

#11

As Trump was about to take the stage at the Hilton, the AP called the election. With that last outstanding bit of business settled, Trump and his family took to the stage and made it official.

#12

Steve Bannon was a genius strategist who, along with Trump, helped knock down many barriers that impeded the other’s path to the White House. Trump recognized that Bannon could focus and channel his political intuition with great success.

#13

Bannon was the mastermind behind Trump’s rise to the presidency, and his backstory is as strange and unlikely as Trump’s.
