They've blown up in the past, and ended up reforming. As I recall they were originally The Whigs. Then the Know-Nothings (snarky comment omitted). And eventually the Republican Party for over a century. I may have missed a name or two. If I recall from history class, they had some sort of tumult, and split and reformed several times in a relatively short period. I don't now recall what the point of contention was (and have better things to do than spend 20 minutes reading the Wiki on it).
