re: #357 Buck

I am only a Canadian, but was Abraham Lincoln really the founder of the Republican Party?

I studied US history, and I don’t remember that.

I see you’re mindlessly repeating the wingnut talking point of the day.
Abraham Lincoln

Drawing on remnants of the old Whig party, and on disenchanted Free Soil, Liberty, and Democratic party members, he was instrumental in forging the shape of the new Republican Party.[94]
