I can’t believe anybody is buying this. If any party is going the way of the whigs, it is the republicans. They can not even mount a fight to save thier own party’s POTUS is the face of a completely partisan attack on the constitution.
The good news is that behind the scenes, the Republican Party is reinventing itself in Trump’s image. However, it will take awhile to see that result, but I believe, assuming Trump serves out his second term, by the time he leaves the White House, the Republican Party will be a far different party than what it is now, and that will be thanks to Trump for making that happen.
