I am a life long Democrat who remains open to understanding different political views. I had seen Mr. Hewitt on television during the debates and found his questions of the candidates fair. I sensed his effort to help voters better understand the position of the candidates rather than focusing on the drama and spectacle.
I learned so much from this book! The ideas he proposes on infrastructure make so much sense. Instead of vague ideas about building more roads or repairing water systems he gives specifics about critically need infrastructure such as dental clinics and swimming pools to help reduce obesity in kids. Then he has a brilliant idea on how to pay for it with a program to get corporations to bring back their profits now sitting in foreign accounts.
He has big bold ideas that he was trying to get President Trump and the Republican Congress to act on in the first 100 days of the new Administration. I would have supported a plan like this and voted Republican if that had happened. But we are 6 months into this administration and nothing has happened except an attempted ban on Muslims, ridiculous Twitter rants about a woman's face lift, and an effort to accuse the media of fake news. No coherent policy direction on anything. After 6 months. What a list opportunity!
But Mr. Hewitt has done a great service to people like me whose mind was opened and excited by a conservative. I hope he will continue writing about these ideas and hopefully we will start to see both Republican and Democratic leaders embracing these fresh and innovative ideas.

About the author
Mediocre Book
I checked this book out from the library (picture is proof). A quick read. It is a plan, but I'm not sure about it. Some good ideas. Mr. Hewitt starts off defining the types of Republicans as he sees them. Then he writes about the first thing that should be done is spend $89 billion on lasting infrastructure. He uses examples from projects he's participated in and that's great, but I think he puts too much trust in doling out taxpayer money using unelected boards. I fear there would be a lot of corruption. Anyway, he goes on to write about spending on the military, the Supreme Court pick, the free market and tax reform, and impeachment. Then proceeds to pad the book with 4 appendices. Thank goodness for libraries.
