“Might set the seeds for one, but there’s a lot that would need to change if you don’t want to end up like the Constitution Party or the Libertarians...”
Precisely, and that would be ending up irrelevant which is exactly what the Socialist Democrats are trying to get us to do. Creating that third party is playing into their hands. This has a lot to do with much of the propaganda from the Leftist MSM. They are trying to get Conservatives to dump the GOP, and become an irrelevant, inconsequential third party like so many including those listed by JSDude1.
I’d like for conservative principles to succeed in governing our nation.
Right now, it would be impossible with a 3rd party, but created the right way, and could succeed. I see no problem with one. The Republican Party is a vehicle, not “the driver”.

Unfortunately, that is what the GOP in Congress seems to be using as a source for their information.
75% is hard to ignore, but I will just about bet they'll find a way.
How many opportunities to stand up to Obama & Co. have been squandered because of the waffling and outright capitulation of Boehner?
We need people in there who will listen to us for a change, because the country cannot spend its way out of the hole it is in. We need someone who has the stones to stand up to Obama's pen and phone and say "NO!". Boehner isn't it.
If Conservatives, en masse, would dump the GOP, they would be the largest voting block in the country — hardly irrelevant!
