Newt Did It. He Broke Politics. w/Historian Julian Zelizer.

Our politics are broken, maybe even Humpty-Dumpty broken. And Trump sure added fuel, but the fire that crippled American politics was started by Newt Gingrich in the 1980's. So says the book, Burning Down the House: Newt Gingrich, the Fall of a Speaker, and the Rise of the New Republican Party, by Julian Zelizer. He's a Professor of History and Public Affairs at the Princeton School of Public & International Affairs. You can buy the book at your local bookstore or here on Amazon.
