Politico Magazine's chief political correspondent offers an insider's perspective on the modern Republican Party, detailing how a decade of cultural upheaval and ideological strife made it susceptible to Donald J. Trump's unexpected rise. The 2016 election marked a pivotal moment in U.S. history, with Trump emerging not as the architect of polarization but as its most significant outcome. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of George W. Bush's low approval ratings and Barack Obama's Democratic dominance, revealing the GOP's crisis of vision and leadership. As Obama advanced his progressive agenda amid shifting demographics, the Republican base reignited, leading to intense internal conflicts over the party's identity. Factions emerged, with hardliners like Jim Jordan and Ted Cruz clashing with pragmatists like John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, resulting in a series of power struggles that left the party fragmented and ineffective. This dysfunction paved the way for an outsider like Trump to seize the moment. By examining Trump's ascent as the culmination of a decade-long civil war within the GOP, the book raises critical questions about the party's transformation and future. Through extensive reporting and interviews with key figures, it provides a unique glimpse into this tumultuous era, solidifying the author’s position as a leading chronicler of contemporary American politics.
