This is the first thorough and systematic interrogation of
Republican Party oratory and rhetoric that examines a series of
leading figures in American conservative politics. It asks: How
do leading Republican Party figures communicate with and
influence their audiences?; What makes a successful speech, and
why do some speeches fail to resonate? Most importantly, it
also investigates why orators use different styles of
communication with different audiences, such as the Senate,
party conventions, public meetings, and through the media. By
doing so it shines important new light into conservative
politics from the era of Eisenhower to the more brutal politics
of Donald Trump. The book will appeal to students and scholars
across the fields of US politics, contemporary US history, and
rhetoric and communication studies.
