        Lincoln must be shedding a waterfall of tears for the modern-day version of the party he founded.

        . @BeschlossDC "With malice towards none, with charity for all." Was there ever a more eloquent GOP President than this first one?

        It is important to marry well. If it had not been for Mary Todd /Lincoln would have continued on as a small town lawyer.

        Right! And it also helps if the women's family has $$$.

        Well, TR was a high point, and Ike was a good president, but they don't have much else to be proud of.
