We need a new party.

No. We need to finish taking over the Republican Party. 150 years was enough to fossilize the two major parties into permanent status. Taking over a party is a generation long challenge. The takeover of the Democrat Party by the hippies, Marxists, deconstructionists, and perverts took over 50 years to complete. It takes patience, and the willingness to accept attrition in coalitions. There will also be phonies and those who go with the current polling. That's baked in and you have to account for it. Trump ran as a Republican after dithering over the Reform Party because he (or his advisors) didn't see it as a viable vehicle.

If you really want to build a new party, it is best to start in ONE state where the Republicans are so weakened that there is nothing left to lose (e.g. Massachusetts or California), and start from the bottom, and caucusing with the Republicans (mostly) as you build strength, like the Bloc Quebecois in Canada. That isn't too practical, and may be a waste of limited resources.
