Summary

Fellow Dispatcher Declan Garvey joins Jonah on today’s program, wherein they discuss the parallels between the GOP’s current identity crisis and the last time that Americans witnessed a similar party realignment (the Whigs vs. Jacksonian Democrats). The guys discuss the prospects for a theoretically ascendant third party - “The people I spoke to said, ‘Yeah, I’d be happy to belong to a party that addressed my concerns even if I knew it might lose in the short term,’” says Declan - as well as early 2024 contenders and the validity of the “Red Dog Democrat” theory. Show Notes: -Declan’s page at The Dispatch -“Hey, egghead, sing ‘Fair Harvard!’” -Declan: “Is it Time for the Republican Party to Split Apart?” -Steve Scalise won’t say the election wasn’t stolen -Trump’s attack on Mitch McConnell -Republican loyalty to Trump -Mitt Romney says Trump is already a 2024 frontrunner -Maine and Alaska should watch out for unintended consequences -Bill Kristol: “What About Joe?” -Tim Miller: “The Trade: Meet the New Red Dog Democrats” -Mitt Romney and Tom Cotton propose a minimum wage hike Learn more about your ad choices.
