The political opponents of the Democrat Party have a lot of problems; one big one is their name. How is it possible they can maintain the label “Republican” when they’ve trashed it, bashed it, and mashed it to a pulp? Why would they even want to keep a name for a party Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, even Ronald Reagan wouldn’t recognize? And, who gets the rights to the name “Republican” anyway?
A new petition on Change.org is calling for voters, from supporters of former President Trump to independents and Democrats, to endorse their becoming the Trumpublican Party.
