76: Amanda Carpenter

Is the GOP on the short bumpy road to irrelevance?  James and Al bring on strategist, author, and Bulwark contributor Amanda Carpenter-- formerly a Ted Cruz staffer-- to find out why the Republican Party can’t escape Trump, and what things might look like if they do.  If they can’t, Democrats can press a generational advantage, but it might not matter if they can’t get their act together!Get More From This Week’s Guest:Amanda Carpenter  Twitter |Author of: Gas Lighting America | @BulwarkOnline EMAIL YOUR QUESTIONS TO JAMES AND AL AT  [email protected] OR TWEET THEM TO @POLITICON.  MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR CITY, WE LOVE TO HEAR WHERE YOU’RE FROM!
