Welcome to an HBO podcast from the HBO late night series Real Time with Bill Maugh.

Alright, now Michael Nance is back great.

Okay, Malcolm Nance, how would you suggest the US retaliate against Russian attack?

We asked you that question, I didn't.

Dave Schmitt, since you'll get another one, I see another one here and here for you.

Don't try not to repeat the question, very asked the guest.

Since Trump's performance in Helsinki have any of your GOP contacts in Congress become more inclined to believe,

well, let me ask a different question, it's a shitty question today.

I hear that the Republican Party is shrinking, that I hear this all the time,

that because Trump's numbers within the party are so high, it's because the actual number of Republicans are going down.

And it always makes me want to ask you, how many Steve Schmitts are out there?

How many people in the Republican Party are used to be who are now switching?

I think it's a very significant number and I think you're going to see college educated Republican women in these swing districts deliver the blue way for the Democrats.

Because I think there are many, many people have left, but the future of the National Republican Party looks exactly like the future of the California GOP,

which for the first time in history of the two parties, in any state, the Republican Party in this state is now a third party.

It's smaller than the decline of state registrations.

When you look at the enathma that millennials feel towards the Republican Party, you look at African Americans, brown people,

you look at just demographically the country and you consider that when people imprint on a political party,

generationally at 18 years age, they remain faithful to that party really for their lifetimes, for decades and decades and decades.

So the Republican Party has a huge, huge, huge problem demographically and it's going to continue to shrink, but as it gets shrinker, as it shrinks, it gets smaller.

Just like the California Republican Party has, it will become crazier.

To the point that I made earlier about the media stuff, Trump was an accelerant. He has made the situation worse.
