The Oregon Republican Party is struggling with irrelevancy.

There’s only one Republican in statewide office, and only one in the state congressional delegation. Can this party be saved? 

In this week's episode of "OPB Politics Now," OPB news director Anna Griffin talks to OPB political reporters Jeff Mapes and Dirk VanderHart about the past and the potential future of the GOP in the age of Donald Trump and Democratic dominance on the West Coast.
