“Anyone with any knowledge of history knows Rush is correct, third parties have never, ever, been of benefit to the GOP... it has resulted in total disaster for our country and our economy........”

The point isn’t to be “of benefit to the GOP”, but to kill and replace the GOP. That’s how the GOP got started, after all. Voted for a Whig candidate lately?

I’m thinking the Republican party is “party of the problem”

The Whig party was pretty much a temporary party itself that predates the Civil War when politics and voting was in an entirely different place than today, the Whig party only lasted 22 years and they never won the female vote which is 54% of the vote today.

The republicans were first formed in 1854 the Whigs were gone by 1856 and by 1860 the republicans had the majority party in the Senate, the Congress and had the Presidency, that won't happen in post Civil War America.

Maybe you should take some time to study the Whig party before holding it up as a paragon to replace GOP.
