    Brooks offers a roadmap for recovery for President Obama if his party takes a defeat in Tuesday’s election. It includes winning back independents, redefining his identity, responding to the nation’s fear about decline, and building an institutional structure to support a more moderate government policy approach.

    Brooks is a New York Times columnist.
