Packed with new reporting, Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party tracks Trump’s improbable journey from disgraced and defeated former president to the dominant force, yet again, in the Republican Party. From his exile in Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump has become more extreme, vengeful, and divorced from reality than he was on January 6, 2021. His meddling damaged the GOP’s electoral prospects for third consecutive election in 2022. His legal troubles are mounting. Yet he re-emerged as the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

Why is democracy under assault here, and not in other wealthy, diversifying nations? And what can we do to save it?

Americans wage many of today’s fiercest policy debates and culture wars over constitutional meaning. It’s because constitutional law is so fundamental to our democracy that law schools across the country teach the subject. It's the area of law that determines what federal and state governments are permitted to do, and what rights you have as an individual citizen of the US. Here, you'll get the same accessible, well-rounded introduction to constitutional law as a typical law student - but with the added benefit of noted constitutional scholar Eric Berger's brilliant insights.

Publisher's summary
In the book How to Run for Local Office, you will learn insider tricks from 20-plus-year political veteran Michael Cole. He brings to you step-by-step instructions on how to look with a critical eye of the expert in planning, launching, and executing a successful bid for local office.
As Michael says in his book, elected office is for everyone that has a passion for public service, the secrets on how to run should not be hidden away for a few insiders, but for anyone with the drive and determination to do it.
Patriots can learn what it takes so lead, just like any other task.
In this book Michael touches on:
- How to decide if running is right for you
- A rundown of legal issues
- Were to raise your money
- How to effectively spend that money
- How to organize an effective social media campaign
- How to best use volunteers
- How to put out your message
- And much more!
This is the time for concerned citizens to step forward and take control of their local governments. Our nation is failing because as ordinary citizens we are either not involved, or do not know how to be involved.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, an intrapreneur, or a not-for-profit leader, there's no shortage of advice on such topics as writing a business plan, recruiting, raising capital, and branding. In fact there are so many books, articles, and websites that many startups get bogged down to the point of paralysis, or they focus on the wrong priorities and go broke before they discover their mistakes.

For more than two decades, Sean Spicer had been a respected political insider, working as a campaign and communications strategist. But in December 2016, he got the call of a lifetime. President-elect Donald J. Trump had chosen him to be the White House press secretary. And life hasn’t been the same since. When he accepted the job, Spicer was far from a household name. But then he walked into the bright lights of the briefing room, and the cameras started rolling. His every word was scrutinized. Every movement was parodied. Every detail became a meme. And that’s just the public side.

Dry and boring
This book is the definition of dry and boring. I went in to this book realizing it probably wasn't going to be a sci-fi thriller or a amazing book about history, but this book was by far the hardest book ever to pay attention to. It was boring, and very dry, while some of the things the author says might work to actually run for local office, I doubt following this book will help you actually win the race you in.
