The Trump supporters here are just like a frog, put in a pot of water. The frog will sit there while the heat is slowly turned up, getting ever hotter and hotter, until the water is boiling and the frog is cooked.
Trump is about cooked.

LCpl Arthur Forbes - he had already left the Whig Party, although he had served as a Whig congress-critter from 1847-49. The Whig's died in 1856. The American (Know Nothing, anti-immigrant) Party ran former President Filmore against Democrat Buchanan, and the new Republican Party ran Fremont. The Whigs also nominated Filmore. At the time, the Whigs were the party of the evangelical movement.

LCpl Arthur Forbes - More accurately , the Whig party was torn apart primarily over the question of abolition. The Republican party formed as a pro abolition party, and many northern Whigs were draw to it because of their dissatisfaction with the Whig stance of slavery. There was more to it of course, but essentially it fragmented over infighting on between the Northern and Southern states on the question of abolition and never recovered. The Democratic party on the other hand was primarily southern and hence pro-slavery and survived. Though the Republican party absorbed many northern Whigs, it formed independently and did not come out of the Whigs.

Capt Gregory Prickett - Lincoln was actually not, though the 1860 election had four candidates. The Whig party had essentially folded by 1859 and failed to field a candidate per sey. The Democrats had a divided party, with the Southern Democrats nominating Breckenridge, and the Northern Douglas. The remains of the Whigs and No Nothings united to form the Constitutional Union party nominating Bell, while the Republican party ran Lincoln. The vote pretty much ran along the lines of the slavery issue. With Breckenridge taking almost all the southern states, and Lincoln all the northern ones though Douglas did garner 3 electors in NJ and finished 2nd in several. He also took Missouri, and Bell 3 southern states.

I read Deutsche Bank was the last bank to loan him money regardless of the financial red flags.

Correct. Banks in the U.S denied him loans due to his multiple bankruptcies and shady financial dealings so he had to procure foreign sources

Gee, another "whistleblower". So if he had this stuff since 2014, and he is SO civic minded, why did he not provide the info to the FBI at any point in the impeachment process? Just another democrat lie.

Capt Gregory Prickett - The burden of proof lies on the person that made the original allegation not someone else later to disprove their allegation. There needs to be evidence that will hold up to prove it.

I thought perhaps you received your JD from an on line college lawyer perhaps you just mailed for a certificate?

I see you have thrown in with Sweeney. We now have merger of dumb and dumber here on RP. You deserve each other.

Capt Gregory Prickett - Jeff, don't you understand the difference between "allegation" and "evidence". When you said, "since when does someone have to prove the evidence is a lie?", indicates you don't. So once again, you have no idea what you are talking about. Don't worry, Slappy, your title of Crown Prince of the Morons is secure, and you are rapidly approaching Archduke of the Morons.
