In the aftermath of Lyndon Johnsons 1964 landslide, the Republican Party appeared to be on the verge of permanent irrelevance. LBJs Great Society was institutionalizing sweeping liberal reforms, and the United States had a thriving, prosperous economy. Yet in an instant everything changed, and the next four decades would witness an unprecedented era of Republican ascendancy. What happened?
In The Right Path, Joe Scarborough looks back in time to discern how Republicans once dominated American public life. From Eisenhowers refusal to let the perfect be the enemy of the good to Reagans charismatic but resolutely practical genius, Scarborough shows how principled pragmatism, combined with a commitment to core conservative values, led to victory after victory.
Now, however, political incalcitrance is threatening to turn a once-mighty party into a permanent minority.
Opening with the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965the high-water moment for liberalismand ending with the national disillusionment that set in after Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans,The Right Path effortlessly blends American political history with astute analysis and pithy, no-holds-barred commentary. Both a bracing call to arms and a commonsense history,The Right Path provides an illuminating look at conservatism and its discontentsand why the GOP must regain its former tone and tradition if it hopes to survive.
Praise for The Right Path
This concise history of modern Republican politics might just leave you optimistic about the chances that conservatives can govern again. . . . In the world of commentary, we tend to obsess over the quotidian ebbs and flowsassuming that every little bump in the road is a disaster. . . . But theres something about reading the history that allows one to take a longer view and put things in context. And thats precisely what this book does very well.The Daily Caller
The Right Path is the right book at the right time to spark a much-needed conversation about the future of the Republican Party.Doris Kearns Goodwin
If youre interested in the Republican future, you need to read The Right Path. I dont agree with all of it, but Joe Scarborough has written a book thats both thought-provoking and fun.William Kristol
Joe Scarboroughs lively, provocative, and instructive history of the modern Republican Party will stir up the GOPwhich is exactly what he has in mind. As the Grand Old Party searches for a path to victory, Joe offers some important lessons to be learned.Tom Brokaw
Joe Scarboroughs incisive, original, provocative, and well-argued book, deploying American political history both distant and recent, deserves to be widely read, carefully considered, and energetically debated.Michael Beschloss
