The Grand Old Party, founded in 1854 in Ripon, Wisconsin, is now dead. What’s left is a dwindling number of elected officials who have stood up to Trump but are now being purged.

Wow, obviously the writer either doesn’t know history or is deliberately ignoring that what he describes is exactly how the Grand Old Party was birthed.

The abolitionist Republicans broke off from the Whig Party and most of the remaining Whigs eventually saw which way the winds were blowing and followed along and joined the Republican Party.

The winds of change are blowing; The wind will blow away the chaff.

Lead follow or get out of the way.

Best post of the day on algores intrawebs. It has been such a bummer the last few months, but I, too, am smelling something hopeful in the air. Hearing the ridiculous coverage of the ridiculous ‘Golden Globe’ awards on NPR made me want to crack open a bottle of champagne. The fools truly are eating their own.
