What's the History of the Republican Party?
Timothy Stanley: I'm looking at this through my vertical ladder. And what is this familiar story of the Republicans from the 60s to today? What does it look like through the vertical lens, right? Does it look different? He says there's an interesting story here that's been kind of hidden because we're always looking at the horizontal. Stanley: In 1960, the Republican party was a plurality. Something we don't have today. The Goldwater contingent, which was small, they conquered their own party. They did it by breaking all of the kind of unwritten rules and norms.
