ok so I was wrong last night. the breaker did not in fact trip when the stat is removed. I checked the breaker anyways just incase but all seemed ok. Heaters keep on running no problem so it is definitely the stat that is the issue. I am certain the wiring is right. So the only thing I can think...

I'll do that tomorrow. Thanks for all your help Nealtw. I will likely be back.

not at the breaker. Funny you should say tat the breaker switch itself seems a bit loose compared to the rest. The cover on the breaker board was replace too. Maybe something got jarred and moved a bit.

OR could I use my multimeter, determine one baseboard circuit and run one board to keep the wattage down?

All I wanted to do was replace a stat... LOL... So there's G10 wiring in place. Is there any wisdom in replacing the 20 amp breaker with 30 amp? This still wouldn't explain why I wasn't having this issue before though.... Are you simply allowed to do that? Don't wanna go messing around and...

double checked everything again. I think I'm right. Supply went on the "Line" and heater went on the "Load".
