Did Donald Trump hijack the Republican party, or is he the party’s logical conclusion? Having spent decades as a political operative putting Republicans in office, Stuart Stevens argues it’s the latter. His new book “It Was All a Lie” sifts through the party’s decades-long march that led to the election of President Trump and reckons with what remains of the Republican political project.

Chris Hayes Podcast With Stuart Stevens | Why Is This Happening – Ep 121 | MSNBC
Daily Reminder: Trump called Covid-19 a Democrat hoax that will magically disappear.
The Republican party went extinct in 2016. The Trumpanzee party goes extinct in 2020.
Biden For President 2020
Daily Reminder: Obama delayed the worthless travel advisory for H1N1 to favor pardoning thousands of violent convicted drug traffickers. Thousands died in the name of left wing corruption.
Keep America Great! Trump 2020!
@J Total H1N1 deaths in US in one year: 12,469
# of COVID-19 deaths in US in six months: 155,000+ and constantly rising
Smart vote for man that is senile

Trump 2020 look at walk away. Movement democrats
The GOP shrank to 29% of the electorate during the Trump years, and now registered independents outnumber Republicans for the first time ever
@Greg Bors wrong that’s fake news
Dementia Joe want’s to control the democrats precious arsenal of nukes. No thank you!
C’mon MSNBC, dig down another layer and expose evangelical religion and belief and money system and crack that base. Falwell just handed you a softball.
This interview is fascinating. Stuart describes exactly what I expect and see in Republicans. People who only care about winning and don’t care one jot if they act in direct opposition to what they claim to stand for in order to do so.
*Trump Economy Leaving Obama’s in the Dust*
July 11, 2019
*On the one hand, Barack Obama and his apologists claim that he deserves credit for halting an economic recession that actually bottomed out in the fall of 2008 before he was elected, and officially terminated less than five months into his tenure – long before any of his policies had taken effect, or in some cases had even been proposed.*
Yet on the other hand, we’re told that in the third full year of the Trump presidency, Obama somehow deserves credit for the current economy, which has in many ways become the healthiest we’ve ever experienced?
And while we’re at it, ponder this dilemma: If Obama were such a splendid economic maestro, why were economic assessments so dour back in 2016 as his presidency finally came to an end?

Total lie
Every measure that Trump used to boast about his performance was improving during both of Obama’s terms — the stock market was growing and unemployment was falling. I think neither Trump nor Obama should take full credit for any state of the economy considering it’s mostly out of their hands barring any foreign policy issues. There’s a thing called Congress in case y’all haven’t heard about it. Also, there’s been more outsourcing of jobs during the Trump admin than the last term of Obama. So the America First president fails on that front, too. Make of that what you will.
“Weakest president…Ever.” – ann coulter on trump
per her standards/objectives, thst makes sense
no man is man enough for that lesbian.
@mike boultinghouse what kind of man would ever want to be with that type of person???
@Jeff L. the kind of man who is into hatef*ck and subjugating b*tches like that
“worst job I ever had,hes (trump) gonna get ppl killed” – Gen.John Kelly,former trump chief of staff before trumps decisions on Covid45 cost thousands of American lives.
“hes (trump) a criminal,&he instructed me to break the law” – Michael Cohen,former trump attorney
HW’s idea of “compassionate conservativism” was to transform the United States into Brazil, rather than Somalia.
“stop using the Reagan Foundation to raise money” – the Reagan Foundation to trump&the RNC after learning the con man was trying to use the former presidents name to fundraise
Well … Using his own name stopped working a long time ago.
ALL of Nevada’s votes are going to be contested in the election, due to
illegal harvesting. So dont worry is CNN reports Trump loses Nevada.
its going to go to the Supreme Court and this illegal voting signed by
nevada corrupt polticians? its going to be ALL thrown out. Antifa>?
your attempt to rig election will fail miserably
Dude, you listen to far too much FAKE NEWS…
@Solid Waste let’s see if it doesn’t get contested, and goes all the way to the supreme court, shall we? ballot harvesting is illegal. and guess what> Ginsburg will be dead and replaced before this happens. Trump will win. you are the one relying upon MSNBC, an oBVIOUS propaganda outlest for Antifa/
@mike boultinghouse Dude, I rely on all media outlets and think BOTH parties are evil, but right now I can see which is MOST EVIL… You my friend are like so many others, actually spouting the crap that YOUR media feeds you… FREE YOUR MIND… snap out of it before its too late, there are better ways to live life with compassion and caring without investing so much hate for your fellow friends and neighbors.
@Solid Waste if Trump wins? will you commit suicide online? just a thought?
Thank you, Stuart, for admitting the obvious weaknesses of the republican party and calling them out, from the viewpoint of an insider and (former) enabler of their racist policies. I’m tired of Republican elected officials turning a blind eye and ear to all my pleas for them to have a heart and a spine and to save America and our planet.
I see that the MSNBC cowards deleted the making of Kanye West story. It revealed the hatred and racism of all the liberals that follow this page and they wish to hide such truth!!
Dude, take your meds, please.
All those things that conservatives used to stand for were one big ruse. They were gimping along for so long, they had to bed the Evangelicals and big oil to get the numbers. They were about to go after Latinos in a serious effort. But the elites don’t care about abortion, they don’t care about democracy even. Trump brought hundreds of thousands to the polls. They held their noses and they turn their faces when he acts all stupid because all they care about is money.
I love your podcast, but getting an ad every 4 minutes is really ridiculous. Enough to make me want to not listen to another one again on youtube.
