It Was All a Lie: How the Republican Party Became Donald Trump by Stuart Stevens

5.0

In the end, the Republican Party rallied behind Trump because if that was the deal needed to regain power, what was the problem? Because it had always been about power.

The rest? The principles? The values? It was all a lie.


This book was like spending the day at a Korean spa while watching the person who bullied you in middle school embarrass themselves on live tv. The absolute VINDICATION of having what you always thought to be true about the Republican Party leadership be confirmed by a Republican political operative is one of my best moments of the year. It has always been about power for the Republican Party.

Every Democratic Operative needs to read this book to understand what is happening to the Republican Party.
