The Cynic: The Political Education of Mitch McConnell
2014 book by Alec MacGillis
The Cynic: The Political Education of Mitch McConnell is a 2014 non-fiction book by Alec MacGillis about the political evolution of Mitch McConnell. The book documents his growing experience with political procedure and the change in his political direction to be more conservative.[1]
Peter Hamby of The Washington Post wrote that the "overriding thesis" is that "the win-at-all-costs McConnell has come to embody everything wrong with a noxious American political system" due to his focus on remaining in office instead of dealing with issues faced by his constituents.[2]
