“Polling shows that if the republican party removes Trump from the ballot, Trump supporters will write in Trump or not vote, effectively killing the republican party.”
That’s my plan.
‘We The People’ shed the Whig Party when we needed to, didn’t we? The Whig Party was every bit the RINO and Socialist Democrat-Enabler Quislings that we have, today!
Not true at all.
The Whigs were more a collection of factions than a party. The only thing that united them was distaste for everything Andrew Jackson stood for. They were the anti-populists of the era. Among the things they believed in were high protective tariffs, a central bank and a strong, vigorous federal government. What held them together was the presence of Henry Clay, the Great Compromiser, who had kept the Union from dissolving in 1820 and 1850 with two compromises that permitted the North and South to live in the same country.
Clay's death from tuberculosis in 1852 at age 75 marked the real end of the Whig Party. It lingered on for most of the 1850s, desperately trying to have it both ways on slavery, which had become the great divisive moral issue of the day. The fractured Whigs were replaced by the Republicans, a true anti-slavery party.
