Synopsis

“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.

Goodreads review by Beauregard on September 12, 2019

Past is prologue. The more Trump campaigns the more he alienates sane people. Just watch one of his Nuremburg rallies. I can’t. Non-racist or non-fascist can’t without feeling sick to their stomach. Two quick examples from this book in the run up to the 2018 midterms: 1) Trump touted the success of......more

Goodreads review by Jodi on September 05, 2019

RIP GOP has an audacious premise: The Republican Party is doomed. It has painted itself into a corner by appealing to an ever-diminishing base and pushing aside the young, minorities, single women, non-religious people, immigrants, and other demographic groups. Stanley B. Greenberg is a longtime Dem......more

Goodreads review by Julian on November 27, 2020

Greenberg's afterword opens with an admission that he sought to write this book "as quickly as possible" after the 2016 election of Donald Trump, and unfortunately, it shows. There is an unevenness in the quality of his writing, particularly in the earlier chapters that lead up to his generative res......more

Goodreads review by John on October 21, 2019

A while ago, perhaps 2 or more years ago, I read a piece by Stan Greenberg where he emphatically stated that demographics alone will never be a cause for voters to become Democrats or progressive, even though demographic movements make a difference in how a specific district might vote. He sort of r......more

Goodreads review by Jerry on October 08, 2019

The title of this book is guaranteed to appeal to me, hence reading it. I hope that this is the case but I must confess I have my doubts. I have been hoping for years that time and the changing demographics of the US would soon catch up with the Republican Party and that their cynical, machiavellian......more
