*** The Radiotopia fundraiser is happening right now! Support this show by becoming a member today: https://on.prx.org/3Ehr3B6 *** It’s November 12th. This day in 2012, the GOP is licking its wounds after an underwhelming election result. It begins a process of self-reflection that would result in the “Growth and Opportunity Report,” a blueprint for a party that turns off fewer voters and embraces diversity. Jody, Niki, and Kellie revisit the report in the light of the 2022 midterms, and discuss what lessons have been learned — and ignored — from its findings. Sign up for our newsletter!
