Good Bye Republicans ?

Political parties in America are slowly dwindling. In Washington, D.C., the number of Republican seats in Congress is slowly diminishing because of the two types of Republicans, Moderate and Conservative. Republicans want to elect “true” Republicans into office, so rather than have a Moderate Republican, there are simply not voting them into Congress. Moderate Republicans are not focusing on major issues such as national security and health policies, and this angers Conservative Republicans. Democrats have taken advantage of this weakness by attacking vulnerable Moderate Republicans in hope of convincing them to become Democrats. In the long run, this can have a lasting effect on the Republican Party, possibly causing it to fade away and leaving America as the single party country.

An event in history that was similar to the Republicans dwindling away was the diminishment of the Whigs in early America. The Whigs had a lack of organization and there was also a need for party loyalty. The Whigs also could not decide on a unified position on slavery, which weakened them as a party. This is similar to how the Conservatives and the Moderates cannot agree on certain issues of importance such as national security or health policies. They were, however, unified when there were issues they had a united agreement. Even though there were famous generals in the Whig Party, the Whigs eventually became apart of the Democratic Party. This can be seen as a foreshadowing for what may occur to the Republican Party, leaving the country under one type of mentality.
