The Grand Old Party, founded in 1854 in Ripon, Wisconsin, is now dead. Whatâs left is a dwindling number of elected officials who have stood up to Trump but are now being purged. Even Senate minority leader Mitch McConnellâs popularity has dropped 29 points among Kentucky Republicans since he broke with Trump.
