RIP Gop

With social conservatives and Wall Street businesses scrabbling for purchase, not even the influx of new blood from the deeply radical Tea Party can hold the Republican party together. Employing irrefutable numerical analysis and backed by strong historical research, Martin shows that it has become almost impossible for a Republican to win the White House. As demographics move against the party of old, white, southern evangelicals, Hispanics surge in number, and social issues concering women and younger voters leap to the forefront of voter issues, Americans have begun asking themselves the big questions about the grand old party. Will the GOP go the way of the Whigs or the pre-Civil War Democrats? Will it break apart or will one wing emerge triumphant? What could bring it back together, and should it even be saved? Is this the end of the Republican Party? Sure to be deeply controversial, RIP GOP is both wake-up call and confirmation of undeniable trends. A must-read for Democrats, this book is for anyone interested in the fate of the Republican party going into the sure-to-be historic 2016 elections.
