The award-winning producer of 'The Rachel Maddow Show' exposes the Republican Party as a gang of impostors who have abandoned their duty to govern, gravely endangering America.
What The Reviewers Say
Despite its obvious partisan bent, The Impostors seeks to do more than ridicule, shame and condemn. At its heart, the book is a plea for saner heads to rescue the Republican Party from its current morass.
The author ably lays out the many disturbing trends in the Republican political arena, making a convincing case for his argument that the GOP has 'quit governing' and now merely focuses on attaining and wielding power or simply negating any progress made by Democrats. Unfortunately, given the pace at which events unfold in today’s political landscape, much of the narrative may feel like old news not long after publication.
Benen, a political commentator and producer of 'The Rachel Maddow Show', debuts with a sober-minded attack on the modern GOP for being a 'post-policy party' more interested in winning elections than effective governance.
