Those remnants are up Trumps ass.And the remnants of the tea party, too.I was referring to Vice President Henry Wallace, not George C., who ran in 1948.
And John B. Anderson who ran in 1980 was clearly a Republican,serving 20 years as Rep. congressman.
Henry Wallace ran against Truman for VP in 1944 and lost. Then in 1948, Wallace was involved in the first of the nasty Communist Debacles. No, he wasn't a communist and neither were MOST of those that were accused of it but the accusation alone was enough to kill his presidential run.
Enough of this, "Hey, look over there". With Trump leaving office (no reason nor time given) that ends the Party of Trump, that leaves only the Democrat Party as the dominant party. Is that what you want to see? Or do you want to see the GOP cleaned up and presented in such a way that it can present itself to the Voter once again. Again, read the 1956 Republican Plank to see when the Republicans were loved by ALL America with the possible exception of the Dixiecrats and the KKK
If the Republican Party were to stand up with Hillary Clinton and agree that Trump's supporters are Deplorables and pledge to embrace the crazy collectivist dreams like the New Green Deal, they might as well just close up shop. You saw the way the GOP got schlonged in 2012 and 2008, that kind of platform is a losing one, a sure trip to palookaville. I can't see such an idea gaining much support or traction. The key in the post Trump area is to BUILD ON the base that Trump has given the GOP. Not to get rid of anyone,but instead to bring in Employed African Americans, Mexicans, Orientals and even non-radical Homosexuals onboard. Guys like Paul Ryan are rather pathetic losers. He already had his chances. Two big ones. Failure as VP candidate in 2012, and a complete and abject failure as Speaker of the House. Further, he has no appeal to the liberals even. I remember the 2012 campaign, Rep. Ryan was considered to be Literally Hitler he really didn't have anything to say about it. Yes, bringing in his small number of supporters can't hurt, but almost everyone realizes he doesn't have any clout.
All you want to do is perpetuate the hate. They are NOT going to build on the Party of Trump. There is only one Trump and when he leaves, the party goes with him. Get over that. And you aren't going to find anyone like him in the next 100 years. Some time in the future, the Party of Trump is gone. Get over that. The question is, what is the GOP going to do to build itself back up. Right now, the GOP doesn't exist. If it doesn't build itself back up in a way that the general population can accept, get ready for a whole long succession of Democratic Presidents. Can you put your hate and venom aside long enough to discuss that? it's not about the Democrats. It's about the Republicans. An the Party of Trump and Trump are not Republicans. Once you realize that then you are going to need to help rebuild the GOP. Otherwise, you end up with your own worst nightmares whether they are real or imagined.
Here is a funny one. I am one of the original Tea Party members. But it got hijacked by the same bunch that hijacked the Republican Party. This is why we need to turn the clock back on the Republican Party back to the day when it really WAS for America, all America. Otherwise, get used to the Democrats running every piece of crap they can come up with and getting them elected for President. Haven't we had enough of that already?
