For Mr Milbank, the destructionism does not have deep roots; instead, the blame rests largely with Newt Gingrich, the inflammatory Republican leader in Congress in the 1990s.
In his splenetic new book, Mr Milbank dates the " crack-up" of the Republican Party to various " destructionists" and—to appropriate the author's trademark style—their depravity, deplorability, mendacity, moral turpitude, rapacity and sycophancy.
It is plain to see that Mr Milbank has a relish, and perhaps even a certain talent, for polemic (also demonstrated by one of his earlier books, " Tears of a Clown: Glenn Beck and the Tea Bagging of America" ).
