This is an age-old debate, but with all due respect the Republican Party was founded in Michigan. Lincoln attended the first major convention there and coined the term ‘Michigander’ to describe what he thought a large noisy group of Michiganders sound like.

Yep. There are a number of states that say they’re the origin of the Republican Party.

These days, do we really want to be aligned with the vast majority of self-serving RINOs we have on board?

I’m glad to see a lot of them being primaried to be replaced with stronger stuff! I don’t care who does it - just get us back to our Constitutional roots. MAGA! :)

Yes, I know we’re pretty far down the rabbit hole, but a girl can dream!
