RIP GOP?

We open with some thoughts on the just concluded Democratic convention, and then segue into our guest, Avik Roy. His interview with Vox has been discussed extensively on Ricochet, and we give him the full court Ricochet Podcast press. Is the GOP on life support as Avik suggests and can be saved? Or, is everything just fine, and the party should stay the course? We delve into all of that with Roy in a very provocative (but civil!) conversation. Also, some thoughts on auto-promotion and the new version of Ricochet. If you're reading this and you're not a member -- what are you waiting for? Join NOW. We need you!

Music from this week’s podcast:
You Can't Always Get What You Want by The Rolling Stones

Oh, the comments are a nice manageable number now. But with 1,500 more people? Ack! It will be like reading Yahoo! Stay away people. :)

It's only 1,500 more people. Not a big deal.

The demise of the Republican party? Well it's true that whenever the liberal media puts out a narrative, Republicans start using it, like "the demise of the Republican party". Democrats have already learned from Trump that progressives can speak in patriotic terms, do not have to trash the military or the country, just trash Republicans and Christians and "Zionists". Brace yourselves folks, the Democrats are going full scale fascist including the necessary military control and nationalism. Please reconsider Trump he isn't the real fascist thing, they are.

It seems like this podcast is broken. It keeps dying for me at 2:57. @BlueYeti ?
