... Lincolns Republican Party does not exist anymore!!!
I'd say the current Republican Party emulates the 'Lincoln Republican Party' rather well.
What ideals do you suggest formulate the 'Lincoln Republican Party'?

Lincoln becomes the American solar myth, the chief butt of American credulity and sentimentality...the varnishers and veneerers have been busily converting Abe into a plaster saint...Worse, there is an obvious effort to pump all his human weaknesses out of him, and so leave him a mere moral apparition, a sort of amalgam of John Wesley and the Holy Ghost. What could be more absurd? Lincoln, in point of fact, was a practical politician of long experience and high talents, and by no means cursed with idealistic superstitions...his career in the State Legislature was indistinguishable from that of a Tammany Nietzsche.-- H.L. Mencken, "Abraham Lincoln," The Smart Set, May 1920. Reprinted in A Mencken Chrestomathy, pp 221-23.
