Election Day is coming up\u00a0and everyone is working overtime to win the presidential election. And the books on their nightstands reveal pretty much\u00a0what\u2019s going on in their lives. Check out what the cast of Scandal<\/em> is reading during this week\u2019s episode\u00a0Trump Card<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"Color<\/a>Cyrus —\u00a0What Color Is Your Parachute? By Richard N. Bolles<\/a><\/strong>
\nIt doesn\u2019t matter how good Vargas is — he is still losing in the polls. Cyrus confides to Olivia that he\u2019s done everything he can to improve their numbers… but nothing is working. The great Cyrus has lost his touch, so maybe it\u2019s time to move on to something else. Olivia informs Cyrus that he\u2019s losing because Rowan is running Edison\u2019s campaign.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Screen<\/a>Doyle<\/strong>\u00a0—\u00a0American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser<\/a><\/strong>
\nHe\u2019s rocking the campaign trail. Everything that Abby and Olivia have concocted to destroy him hasn\u2019t worked. However, Olivia leaks some footage of Doyle being his disgusting self, and voters are enraged. That\u2019s the end of Hollis Doyle\u2019s campaign.<\/p>\n

\n

\"YAYA<\/a>Abby —\u00a0Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells<\/a><\/strong>
\nAbby and Olivia have declared a cease-fire in order to destroy Hollis Doyle. However, both teams dig up some dirt on their allies just to make sure they are covered if their peace treaty falls through. Rowan gives Abby some dirt, but it will only hurt Mellie because it hurts Olivia. During\u00a0their meeting to discuss\u00a0their findings, Abby chooses to reveal an embarrassing tidbit about Mellie instead of the real dirt — Olivia aborted Fitz\u2019s baby.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Single<\/a>Susan —\u00a0All the Single Ladies: Unmarried Women and the Rise of an Independent Nation by Rebecca Traister<\/a><\/strong>
\nWhen Olivia reveals that David Rosen made a deal with Governor Baker to get Susan the endorsement that would win Florida, Susan finally had it. Despite agreeing to marry David earlier in the episode, Susan dumps him. She also drops out of the running for president saying that it\u2019s not her time yet. However, her confidence and desire to change the world has never been stronger.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Art<\/a>Olivia —\u00a0The Art of War by Sun Tzu<\/a><\/strong>
\nOlivia knows all the right moves to win. She captures footage of Doyle insulting the voters to sink his campaign, which gets Doyle out of the way for Mellie and Susan. Olivia then convinces Edison to tank his campaign which helps save Cyrus\u2019 candidate Vargas. OPA finds out how to get Susan to drop out of the race for president. Now Olivia’s candidate is poised to win the White House.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Uncle<\/a>Edison —\u00a0Uncle Toms Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe<\/a><\/strong>
\nOlivia tells Edison that he\u2019s basically Rowan\u2019s robot and will never have any power as president. Edison doesn\u2019t want to win like that. So he follows Olivia\u2019s advice to tank his campaign. He publicly responds to Doyle\u2019s racist comments with a very long-winded speech that is conveniently not what voters want to hear. Edison concedes to Vargas.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Godfather\"<\/a>Rowan —\u00a0The Godfather by Mario Puzo<\/a><\/strong>
\nEdison doesn\u2019t want to make Jake his running mate and Rowan isn\u2019t having it. Jake then informs Edison that Edison\u2019s life-threatening car accident from several years ago was all a part of Jake and Rowan\u2019s plan. Edison puts Jake on the ticket, but when Rowan finds out Edison conspired with Olivia to end his campaign, Rowan has Jake rough up Edison a bit.<\/p>\n
