Episode 26 - The Road to Trump: Republicans since the 1960s

Still baffled by Donald Trump's nomination? Be perplexed no more! With the Republican party heading to their convention in Cleveland to nominate the billionaire tycoon, we're joined by the University of Oxford's Paddy Andelic (@pkandelic) to discuss the Republicans over the past half century as we look to map out the road to Trump. On our travels we cover Barry Goldwater, Civil Rights, Richard Nixon, Watergate, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and both Bush I & II. We also delve into some of the issues and causes that have defined the GOP since the 1960s.  All this, and much more, on another bumper podcast of American History Too! We'll be back soon with a podcast covering the Road to Hillary Clinton! Cheers, Mark and Malcolm Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
