Winning is everything from "summary" of It Was All a Lie by Stuart Stevens

The idea that winning is everything was a central tenet of the Republican Party for decades. It was the driving force behind every decision, every policy, every campaign strategy. Winning was the ultimate goal, the ultimate prize. It didn't matter how you won, as long as you won. Principles were secondary, values were negotiable. What mattered was coming out on top. It was a ruthless approach, a cutthroat mentality that prioritized victory above all else. This mindset led to a series of compromises, a series of ethical lapses that gradually eroded the soul of the party. Winning became an end in itself, divorced from any higher purpose or moral compass. It was a dangerous game, a Faustian bargain that ultimately led to the party's downfall. The pursuit of power at any cost had corroded the party from within, leaving it hollow and bereft of meaning. The obsession with winning had blinded Republicans to the damage they were causing, to the harm they were inflicting on the country. It had turned politics into a zero-sum game, a blood sport where the only rule was to crush your opponent. There was no room for compromise, no room for empathy. It was a winner-take-all mentality that left no room for nuance or complexity. But in the end, the Republicans discovered that winning wasn't everything. It was a hollow victory, a Pyrrhic triumph that left them with nothing but a handful of shattered principles and a legacy of shame. The pursuit of power had led them astray, had led them to sacrifice everything that had once made them great. And in the end, they had nothing to show for it but a trail of broken promises and shattered dreams.
