The Sham of the Republican Party
On this episode of The Enemies List, best-selling author and former GOP strategist, Stuart Stevens, joins Rick to expose the sham that is the Republican Party. For decades Stuart was behind the curtain helping elect governors, members of the US House and Senate, and presidents. He shares his cold, hard assessment of the demise of his former party and its rise as an authoritarian, anti-American force today. Rick and Stuart also lay bare the soulless state of the party as the primary process heats up and candidates struggle to carve out a niche and justify their campaigns.
And of course, we add to The Enemies List.
Stuart Stevens’ new book is available now for pre-order: The Conspiracy To End America
