The Republican Party has taken a sharp and angry populist turn. Gone is the optimism and constructive policy agenda that Ronald Reagan offered and the efforts of Jack Kemp and others to address the tangible kitchen-table worries of Americans. Peter Wehner has served in the last three Republican administrations and is one of the most creative thinkers in the Republican Party. He lays out a new direction for today's GOP that draws on conservative principles and speaks to everyday Americans.
