Republicans understand politics better because they learn from Democratic victories. The opposite does not happen.

After Obama's 2012 win, Republicans devoured Sasha Issenberg’s The Victory Lab. In 2020, the RNC made staffers pass a test on a book about Obama's campaign.
Every time that Democrats win, Republicans pay attention. After Barack Obama won big in 2012, Republican elites devoured Sasha Issenberg’s The Victory Lab, which chronicled how Obama did it. As part of its 2020 strategy, the Republican National Committee required organizers to read and pass a 22-question exam about Elizabeth McKenna and Hahrie Han’s Groundbreakers, which profiled the Obama campaign’s ground game successes. Republicans read the other side’s playbooks and operationalize them; Democrats rarely do the same. Instead of learning after losing, far too often, left-of-center leaders tend to blame opposing factions, electoral maps, external circumstances, and gerrymandering.
