Summary of Stuart Stevens's It Was All a Lie
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 My first client was running for Congress in 1978, and I was in film school at the time. I made television commercials for his campaign. We were losing, because the congressional district was around 30 percent African American and Hinson was getting less than 10 percent of that vote.
#2 The key in many southern elections is race. The Democratic candidate needs 90 percent of black votes to win. If a significant portion votes for a third party, the Republican will win.
#3 Since 1964, black voters have seen how the Republican Party operates once in office. It's summed up nicely in a chapter called The GOP's Rise as `the White Man's Party' in Dog Whistle Politics by Ian Haney López.
#4 The Republican abandonment of the option of becoming a party of reform manifested itself in the 1961 speech by Barry Goldwater to a gathering of Southern Republicans, who declared that they would not get the Negro vote as a bloc in 1964 and 1968.
