Sample Book Insights:

#1 The modern Republican Party has become a post-policy party. It is indifferent to the substance of governing, and it is disdainful of expertise and analysis. It is hostile toward evidence and arithmetic.

#2 The GOP’s post-policy attitude has been embraced by many of its supporters. As long as Republican candidates can win elections while being lazy about policy making, they have little incentive to change.

#3 The Republican Party’s transition into a post-policy party reflects the same ugly mosaic. The Democrats’ approach is always substantive: when party officials consider a policy challenge, they tend to act deliberately, evaluating the granular details in ways Republicans rarely consider.

#4 Post-policy thinking is when politicians and government officials stop caring about policy outcomes and instead focus on messaging. This was the hallmark of the Republican Party’s approach to Obama, who they viewed as a dangerous radical.
