From our friends at This Day In Esoteric Political History, we bring you a recent episode about the 2012 GOP “Growth and Opportunity Report” – the blueprint Republicans put together for being a more welcoming and diverse party. A lot of the language echoes what the GOP is saying in the wake of this year’s midterms. And a lot of the recommendations were completely ignored during the rise of Donald Trump.

This Day is hosted by Jody Avirgan (formerly of 538), Nicole Hemmer (Vanderbilt) and Kellie Carter Jackson (Wellesley). They release short episodes three days a week. Check out more at thisdaypod.com
