If you want a sober look at the republican party and Trumps success within it.

Along with a realistic look at what they have to do if they want to remain relevant.

David Axelrod has a podcast with of all people Lindsay graham that is a surprisingly honest look at the state of the republican party.

He discusses things like the need for the Republican party to stop denying science and to quit playing to peoples fears of the other if they want to remain a relevant party.

Lots of good discussion and a surprising amount of honesty.

There is also one with Trent Lott. It was also interesting but I think Lindsays take was much more clear headed and honest.
