Episode Synopsis

The Republican Party is facing extinction. Movement conservatism is intellectually exhausted, the evangelical right feels ignored if not betrayed, and younger voters have embraced the Democrats as the party of the future. How can the GOP get back in tune with the aspirations of American voters? Reihan Salam, associate editor at The Atlantic and co-author of Grand New Party: How Conservatives Can Win the Working Class and Save the American Dream, visited Zócalo to explain how and why the Republicans must break out of their demographic box.
