If the Republican Party is no longer the party of Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, Newt Gingrich, limited government, or fiscal restraint, then what is it? And what’s a self‐​respecting, small‐​government, fiscally conservative, socially liberal voter supposed to do? In his new book, Ryan Sager argues that George W. Bush’s brand of big‐​government, big‐​religion conservatism risks causing a serious split in the GOP — in particular, between the traditional South and the “leave me alone” states of the interior West, such as Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Montana.
