-
This is one circus worth attending, a series bottomless in its capacity to fascinate.
-
The show is at its best when national politics is at its worst.
-
Cheerfully cynical yet with a sincere appetite for the game, The Circus is both a document and an example of the superficiality of today’s elections. It may not be a three-dimensional picture, but it’s a vivid one.
-
Halperin and Heilemann, authors of the best-sellers Game Change and Double Down, certainly know their stuff, even if they inject themselves a little too enthusiastically into the proceedings. And the grizzled McKinnon, a veteran of five presidential campaigns, lends a knowledgeable insider's perspective.
-
While The Circus might be sporadically colorful, at a time when the inside-baseball of politics has become daily grist for the hungry media and its own spectator sport, with all due respect, it’s anything but a game-changer.
