Bring it on - I want so badly for the GOP-e to disband as a party.

If you want to see what a one party system in America looks like, look at Kalifornia.

Doing away with the Republican Party will make America look like Kalifornia.

Better to take the Party back from the socialist infiltrators than let it disappear.

Amerika will never be a ONE party system. The GOP needs to be replaced the same way it came into being in the 1850s.

The party (WHIG) was ultimately destroyed by the question of whether to allow the expansion of slavery to the territories. With deep fissures in the party on this question, the anti-slavery faction prevented the re-nomination of its own incumbent President Fillmore in the 1852 presidential election; instead, the party nominated General Winfield Scott. Most Whig party leaders eventually quit politics (as Abraham Lincoln did temporarily) or changed parties. The northern voter base mostly joined the new Republican Party. By the 1856 presidential election, the party was virtually defunct. In the South, the party vanished, but Whig ideology as a policy orientation persisted for decades and played a major role in shaping the modernizing policies of the state governments during Reconstruction.[3]
