Summary
<p>History and the intrinsic goodness of human nature have moved beyond the Republican Party’s century-long opposition to working people, voting rights and a strong social safety net.</p><p>On the one hand, if the Republican Party doesn’t reinvent itself it will go the way of the Whigs. On the other hand, it appears the best the party has to offer for the future are billionaire Mitt Romney or fascist Tom Cotton. </p><p>America, broadly, is rejecting the poisons of racism, sexism, selfishness and greed. So long as the Republican Party continues to cling to these fundamentally anti-American values, it will continue to collapse.</p><p>Thom speaks with Charlie Sykes, founder and editor-at-large of The Bulwark, host of The Bulwark Podcast, and an NBC/ MSNBC contributor.</p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
