People have been asking this question for years. Answer: No. Modern divisions in the party are NOTHING compared to divisions in the Whig party over slavery. (Not mentioned: How the rats stayed united until 1860 by driving slavery opponents out of the party with Northern rats taking a “pro-choice” stance)
And the Whigs didn’t really go anywhere, nearly all Northern Whigs became Republicans and Republican policy was Northern Whig policy.
In our electoral system you’re gonna have 2 parties, no matter what they’re called. If in a fantasy scenario Republicans split, with conservatives forming a new party that supplants the GOP as the main center-right party, it would only be a matter of time before the Republicans/RINOs joined them, and voila same party with a new name. And meanwhile due to the vote splitting the rats will have huge supermajorites in Congress that they will use to rape Lady Liberty and beat her into a coma.
But hey, talking about nonsense like this more fun than reality.
Will Liberals go the way of the Nazis?
Democrats are like muslims; there are very few real moderates among their ranks, but the republlicans have a bumper crop of them.
He could be true for the longer term but as of right now the “Whigs” are running the House AND the Senate.
I think they will go the way of an honest NYT reporter.
Bonehead and McDorkell hold the last chance, and we all know they don’t have a single IQ point to share between them.
Add Bush as a presidential candidate, and we may as well load up for the sure to follow civil war.
Whigs to Republicans to “Freedom” Party. The GOP is dissolving and it will be hastened if Jeb is the nominee.

The Democratic Party has been taken over by rabid communists ... the Republican Party has morphed into the old Democratic Party ... and at the present time, conservatives are represented by ... no one!
Restoration Party
They’re closer to the Mugwump’s party ....
A new party will form, to embrace the concept of individual freedom under written(Not Federal Judge dictated) Constitutional law of limited highly decentralized Government.
The Faithless republican party will collapse as their base abandons them and the RINO’s who have thou fraud and decent kinged themselves to act as democrats will soon enough find themselves leading a corrupt minority.
It is better to be victory and fight for victory than just anther form of defeat. We have presently the advantage that the leftst agenda is leading to Demographic, cultural, and economic collapse. The Surivers will either die as their country falls apart around them or repent and join us.
Althou we will no doubt run for victory, our real fight will be for independence, We will join with the left in the tearing down of Federal Government powers, as to weaken Washington morally and most importantly practically enough for State level rebellion to rise and take advantage of the vacuum. Establish a country of practical freedom, and individual responsibility, in all the lands that follow our battle cry for freedom.
But to get there the Federal leviathan must be shattered and degraded to the point where it is no longer strong enough to threat our freedom.
Given time, the left’s own hate for Military and police, will give us the means to do exactly that, so long as we focus that means on Washington and stoke their hate to include the corrupt Federal injustice system.
Ben Shapiro would do better in radio if he can get rid of his co-host Brian Whitman who constantly interrupts and will support anything the democrats want.
Just about the best thing that could happen to the American political system is for both the Republican and Democratic Parties to implode.
The Republicans did such a good job of replacing the Whigs that they have become the Whigs.

If they confirm Lynch I am done with them forever.
