The last time Republicans betrayed a sitting Republican president, like they’re doing right now, was in 1912. Teddy Roosevelt, a progressive Republican, fought against Wm. H. Taft, a conservative Republican, for the entirety of Taft’s presidency (1908-1912), tearing the party in half. Roosevelt completed his destruction of the party in 1912 when he formed his own party (Bull Moose) and ran for president as a third party candidate against Taft, who was the Republican nominee.
The result was a landslide victory! For leftist democrat Woodrow Wilson.
Great point on Teddy and Taft.
I found the article worth the read.
i will support Trump to the end .... Just hope he figures out how to keep all of his original base and win over some others for the long road.
