Topic: 1924 Convention

The current state of the Republican Party is analyzed through the lens of the 1924 Democratic Party split between elites and populists. The hosts discuss the "secret organization" nature of the GOP leadership, specifically naming Reince Priebus and Mitt Romney as figures attempting to block Donald Trump's nomination.

A deep dive into the 1924 Democratic National Convention explains how the party split between urban anti-corruption figure Al Smith and religious populist William Jennings Bryan. The hosts use this history to argue that the current Republican split will not necessarily destroy the party long-term, as the Democrats won four consecutive terms just eight years after their 1924 disaster.
