Actually, my APUSH teacher agrees that historically it is time for a new party to arise and predicted this months ago.  Every few decades a new party is supposed to replace an old and I believe it may be time....

There is literally no historical evidence to support this.

"Every few decades?"  When's the last time a third party had any real shot going anywhere?  1912?
We are overdue actually. That was her point.
Okay... but the collapse of the Whigs and their replacement by the Republican Party happened in 1856, and nothing remotely similar has happened in the 160 years since. So where are you pulling "every few decades" from? Where is the historical evidence that that's how it is "supposed" to work?
