About this ebook
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.

Garbage like this will guarantee the re-election of President Trump. The dimoctats will continue to tack to the left, with promises of free everything, while the average Joe (no, not the rich) foot the bill. Keep underestimating the average (as in normal) Joe, and the party of Lincoln will win every time.

Just reading the introduction has several huge holes in the logic. It is the technique of a catchy title to sell a few books. Absurd. The only value is as a coffee table book for humor and sarcasm.
