It's too bad Lincoln's ancestors can't sue to make the GOP stop using his name

He’d certainly want no part of today’s party. For that matter it’s too bad elephants don’t have some legal standing. Those noble creatures would not want to be associated with them either.

They act like a bunch of abusive alcoholics.

Oh, and Lincoln's ancestors are all dead.

He probably has living descendants though.

Only one of his four sons lived to adulthood, and his line died out in the 1960s IIRC

I knew they had suffered a series of horrible tragedies; didn't realize the line had died out.
