Paul,

Since you like Thomas Frank's works so much, have you read his "Listen, Liberal: Or, What Ever Happened to the Party of the People?".  Full credit to Lynn Porter for turning me on to this book.  I found the reviews fascinating and look forward to reading it after I finish "Nature's New Deal: The Civilian Conservation Corps and the Roots of the American Environmental Movement".  Sorry Paul, bios on Trump, Clinton, Johnson, and Stein are still not on my reading list.
