Description
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.

I have been devouring political non-fiction for the last year and this one did not disappoint. Well sourced, without the drama of "Fire and Fury," the book is a clear-eyed look at the house of cards that is about to topple. Educational, conversational, and informative, I felt like I was at an engaging college-level seminar. More, please.

This was written before the 2020 election and many, but not all, his predicts proved correct. Of course, no one could have predicted the craziness, insurrection of our Capitol and the ongoing craziness that followed and is ongoing. So how and why did we get here?
If one reads this one quickly realized why the GOP is doing everything it can to remain a forceful entity. Trump, quite frankly, like the QAnon, is a cancer on their party that they can't seem or are unwilling to break. This party has huge demographic problems, a growing millennial base that finds their views outmoded, and their adoption and defense of these fringe elements have chased away many of the conservative, moderate members of their base. It is hard to see where they go from here, but in my opinion, they are going in the wrong direction.
This book lays it all out in delineated chapters, that cover many issues, often using information gained from focus groups of both parties. A quick read but chock full of info and if one has an interest in politics, this is a good read.
