Summary

The Republican Party might be the party of Donald Trump, but how did it get to this place of uncompromising groups with irreconcilable demands? And is something similar about to hit the Democrats? Professor Samuel L. Popkin, academic, consulting analyst in five Democratic Presidential campaigns and author of Crackup: The Republican Implosion and the Future of Presidential Politics, chats to Dorian Lynskey about the rise of Trump, and what it means for the future of American politics. “The great divide between the two parties is caused by failures of leaders to curb the extremes of their party.” “It was made clear to John McCain that he wouldn’t get any money until he changed his position on global warming.” “If Ted Cruz had acted differently, we might never had seen the emergence of Donald Trump.” Presented by Dorian Lynskey. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers: Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees.
