RIP GOP

How the New America Is Dooming the Republicans

By: Stanley B. Greenberg

Narrated by: Johnny Heller, Stanley B. Greenberg

“Through vivid detail and analysis, backed up by hard data, Stan Greenberg outlines a blueprint for the New American majority to destroy the rigged system that made Donald Trump possible as he offers the hope that we can create an America that builds opportunity for everyone, not just the wealthy and the well-connected.” (Senator Elizabeth Warren)

This program includes an introduction read by the author.

A leading pollster and adviser to America’s most important political figures explains why the Republicans will crash in 2020.

For decades the GOP has seen itself in an uncompromising struggle against a New America that is increasingly secular, racially diverse, and fueled by immigration. It has fought non-traditional family structures, ripped huge holes in the social safety net, tried to stop women from being independent, and pitted aging rural Evangelicals against the younger, more dynamic cities.

Since the 2010 election put the Tea Party in control of the GOP, the party has condemned America to years of fury, polarization, and broken government. The election of Donald Trump enabled the Republicans to make things even worse. All seemed lost.

But the Republicans have set themselves up for a shattering defeat.

In RIP GOP, Stanley Greenberg argues that the 2016 election hurried the party’s imminent demise. Using amazing insights from his focus groups with real people and surprising revelations from his own polls, Greenberg shows why the GOP is losing its defining battle. He explores why the 2018 election, when the New America fought back, was no fluke. And he predicts that in 2020, the party of Lincoln will be left to the survivors, opening America up to a new era of renewal and progress.

An interesting concept backed up by research.

I feel there's a lot of projects that proclaim that the GOP/Republicans are on the verge of extinction but then that never happens and conservatives continue to triumph politically. But Mr. Greenberg makes a somewhat convincing argument that this will actually come to pass in the major elections in 2020... That is supposedly even a confluence of events and demographics will result in a Republican route... And this book lead published before the Coronavirus epidemic so we'll see how that turns out. I'd love to see an addendum to this book describing the potential electoral impacts of the pandemic.
