How the Republican Party went from Lincoln to Trump

posted by Jason Kottke   Jul 26, 2016

Now that Donald Trump's officially the Republican candidate, here's a summary of how a party once led by Abraham Lincoln came to select Mr. Orange as their #1.

(As I'm sure Andrew Jackson and Jefferson Davis have been doing as well over the past eight years.)
