It is Grand Old Party, as said previously, but many people seem to be making up how that came about.
In the 1870s the Republican Party re invented itself and tried to tie itself in with the original Republican party of 1793 (the party of Jefferson) by calling itself "grand old"

It stands for Grand Olde Party. It was used in the 1800s when the Republican party considered themselves a more stately party.

It stand for Grand previous party. That time period is a throwback to the early days of our u . s .. i'm not fairly constructive as to why or the way it got here about, yet so a techniques as i have ever been informed, it means Grand previous party.
