Commentary: The Democratic Party Is Headed Toward a Whig-Like Fate — and for Good Reason

Once upon a time, there was an esteemed American political party called the Whig Party. It was one of the two great American political parties of its time. It stood alongside the Democratic Party in the mid-19th century and produced four U.S. presidents: William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, and Millard Fillmore. It also enjoyed the membership of other eminent American political leaders, like Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, William Seward, and John Quincy Adams.

Notwithstanding these great achievements, however, the Whig Party managed to destroy itself and was dissolved in 1854, just 21 years after its founding. Could today’s Democratic Party be on the same path to extinction as the Whigs?

  1. The judges will keep the democrat party alive. They will allow rigged elections and judgements will be for the democrats.

  3. I see the ruling by the Judges will make things worst for the Dems. The groups getting the Judges to act against Trump are showing people that the removal of illegals and reduction of the government is being stopped by the Dems. This also is seen with the push of attacks against Musk and swatting.

  9. I think it was Tip O'Neill who said, "A week is a year in politics." They'll eventually wise up and see that they can't keep on bowing to the radical left. Plus, never underestimate the Republican's ability to screw up a win.

  11. Ronald Reagan killed the American Democrat Party in 1984 when he beat Walter Mondale in 49 states. The Communist Party USA took over the name "Democrat Party" and have been ruling as such ever since. I guess the muslims get next dubs on the name!!!
