Will the Election of 2020 Prove To Be the End or a New Beginning
Ordinarily, campaign strategies are designed solely to win elections. We argue that the partisan strategies of 2020 should take account of the prospect of defeat, because the way parties lose can have as much significance as what they can accomplish when they win. This election is extraordinary because Trump's presidency is not merely disruptive but also destabilizing; it stresses and perhaps threatens democratic institutions such as political pa…

Legacies of Losing in American Politics
The Anti-Federal Appropriation
The Anti-Federalists lost the battle to defeat the Constitution but won back through interpretation what they lost in constitutional construction. To counter Anti-Federalists’ accurate depictions of the proposed constitution as one that would radically alter the existing regime, The Federalist adopted a rhetorical structure that facilitated an opposing political tradition layered over the constitutive logic of the Constitution. Our analysis of th…
The Rhetorical Presidencyin Retrospect
The Rhetorical Presidency is not, principally, a book about rhetoric or the presidency. Rather, rhetoric and the presidency are windows on the American constitutional order as a whole. Critics have greatly enhanced the historical narrative but have not undermined the principal historical and theoretical claims. Recent changes in the American polity are best understood as exacerbations of problems described in the book, rather than as fundamental …
On Deaf Ears
On Deaf Ears: The Limits of the Bully Pulpit. By George C. Edwards, III. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2003. 320p. $35.00. The funeral of Ronald Reagan marked a celebration not only of the president's political accomplishments but also of the idea that the core of presidential leadership is mastery of the bully pulpit. Published shortly after Reagan was laid to rest, Bill Clinton's autobiography also reflects our modern preoccupation with rhe…
On the Politics Skowronek Makes
Although there is an enormous literature on presidential leadership, only a handful of books on the subject shape the terms of debate regarding the place of the presidency in the American political order. Edward Corwin's classic, The President: Office and Powers , written during the New Deal, and Arthur Schlesinger Jr.'s Imperial Presidency , written during the Watergate era, are examples of such constitutive texts. Each reconceptualized the unde…
On the State of Constitutional Theory
Stephen M. Griffin's effort to redefine the enterprise of constitutional theory is certainly commendable. He seeks to move constitutional study away from narrowly legal analyses to broader political concerns that animate all serious efforts to make, revise, or even interpret constitutions. Griffin understands that courts are but one institution in a constitutional system and as a part of an ongoing polity can never stand for the whole. He underst…
