Reviews

[Mary Ronan Drew · Rating 2 out of 5]

If you took away all the exclamation points in Dick Morris' book it would shrink by half. Well, maybe by a third. Morris is a brilliant man and once was a political operative working for the Democrats (especially the Clintons) but now he is a political commentator and takes conservative positions. He has become a booster for the Republicans.

Morris' advice is probably excellent if you are a Republican running for office but for the ordinary politics-obsessed reader it's a little too detailed. I read half of the book and decided I had much more to learn from the letters of Daniel Patrick Moynihan and so applied myself there instead.

A third of the book is now long stale. It's definitely America-centric (not a surprise, just wanted to mention). Typical talking points are here - especially the socialist argument (which is really far, far from where America headed anyway) - but even worse, weaponizing the archaic debt limit, which we saw what happened in 2013. Had the gall to praise both the Koch brothers and Citizens United, both forces for the worse. There were okay calls to action - the websites about politician votes and money flows are generally good advice - but at the end of the day, is it worth scraping through the muck for these little nuggets? Seek info elsewhere.

One of Morris' best books, although, as one who frequently follows blogs, interviews and such of Morris, I was already familiar with the chunk of information in the book. Morris is incredibly insightful into the heartbeat of politics. An extra bonus for me is that he drives the progressives insane...so rock on, Morris..keep up the good work!

By far their best book. Revolt concisely exposes Obama's socialist agenda- from the budget to the EPA's regulation of carbon as a pollutant in order to enact cap and trade- and offers principled conservative guidance to stopping it. Had good things to say about the Tea Party, and his analysis of the current group GOP presidential contenders was spot on.

Great information and Dick Morris knows his politics very well.
A must read for these trouble times.
Get informed and act on what you learn.
