Republican Party Isn't Dead
 The Republican party isn't dead, contrary to what one may have read in the New York Daily News or the Boston Globe. To know why the Republican Party isn't dead, one needs only to read the original Republican Party Platform of 1856. Historian Richard Cavendish explains why the Republican Party was founded: "The party was born of hostility to slavery. Back in 1820, the US Congress had agreed the Missouri Compromise, under which Missouri entered the Union as a slave state, but slavery was forbidden anywhere else in the Louisiana Purchase north of 36 Degrees 30'. However, in 1854 the principle was threatened by the Kansas-Nebraska Act, under which the white inhabitants of the two territories were to decide by referendum whether slavery would be allowed there or not. There were numerous Americans in the northern states who disapproved of slavery, including many northern Whigs and Democrats as well as the Free Soilers, who had sprung from concern over the possible introduction of slavery in territory acquired from Mexico in the 1840s." As Cavendish states, slavery wasn't the only issue driving the formation of the Republican Party, a seen in this excerpt from the original GOP platform: "Resolved: That the Constitution confers upon Congress sovereign powers over the Territories of the United States for their government; and that in the exercise of this power, it is both the right and the imperative duty of Congress to prohibit in the Territories those twin relics of barbarism --Polygamy, and Slavery." In short, the Republican Party's primary purpose was fulfilled once slavery and polygamy were outlawed. Since then, the GOP has constantly reinvented itself by championing new causes. The ascension of Donald Trump in the party is the result of Trump offering rank-and-file GOP voters a new cause: America First. The GOP didn't die with Trump's rise. Instead, what died was the power that GOP elites had. The latter were given opportunity to fulfill the desires of the GOP rank and file but failed to do so. Thus, the rank and file turned to an outsider for help. * * * * * Quote Source: Cavendish, R. (2004). The Republican Party Founded. History Today. * * * * * Originally posted @ The Moderate Voice |

For those who want Trump to "unify" the party...I think there are many elitists (both Republican and Democrat) that are very happy with the corruption, lobbyists and power players in Washington and will criticize Trump regardless of what he does. He will unify Americans who believe our country has been sliding away from the principles that made us great. |

Republican Party Isn't Dead I don't think it would matter much if it was. And if it did "die" I'm not sure that would be such a bad thing. Ignoring the idea of a "new" republican party, or new party popping up, people don't like government. Without the republicans there would only be one party everyone could point to and hold responsible for all the crap government does. One thing you never really read on forums or comments section is "those damn independents! Stupid indumbpendents! Indeoblomependents did it again, kick them out! Worthless indepukedents!" I think if the republican party "died" the democrat party would soon follow. |

I think if the republican party "died" the democrat party would soon follow. people are people,, whatever label we gave them, it wouldn't change there would be the wise and unwise, the treachourous and the scrupulous, the greedy and the selfless,,,etc the 'outsider' rhetoric has grown old to me,, I have a list of outsiders I guarantee wouldn't get the republican, 'conservative' nomination people vote their interests and concerns,,Trump gets the vote because of his 'concern' for all the groups of 'others' so obviously killing AMerica others like muslims others like Mexicans and minorities and immigrants he is appealing to yesterdays 'conservative dixiecrats,,,,, and much of the 'republican' base that defected from the democrat party long ago because it was becoming too 'liberal |

as someone who has gone through it,, its not further from the truth
its very tedious to get in and they are choosy about who they allow unless you can trespass illegally,, which is as 'easy' as it is to break into a house, depending upon your proximity to a border, but that doesn't mean police are letting strangers into others homes |

I'm torn on this issue because I don't think kids should be punished for the illegal activities of their parents....but I also don't think kids should benefit from the illegal activities of their parents. That being said, current immigration laws aren't responsible if the kids have to return to the country of their birth. It's the illegal alien parents who are responsible and to blame for their children being punished. |

I understand that too
I usually err on protecting kids though much like any other criminal, we don't usually send a child to jail with them when they break the law deportation should be the consequence for the adult who breaks the laws of immigration, but I favor the kids life being kept as in tact as possible |
