Next Episode: Episode 48: Does the GOP need to break up with Donald Trump?

Utah Sen. Mitt Romney was loudly booed by Utah Republicans at their state convention last week. It was an astonishing development given he was the party’s presidential nominee less than a decade ago.

We’re joined this week by political strategist Mike Madrid, a co-founder of the Lincoln Project and the former political director of the California GOP. He says the Republican base is radicalizing, mostly because of former President Donald Trump. That change will have profound impacts on our politics, and will likely lead the party to political ruin.

Madrid also says the Democratic Party is not immune to radical elements, which is leading both parties away from the political center.
