It’s a little late in the game to be making noises about starting a new conservative party. Are we going to hand Obama another 4 years? As for focusing on the down ballot races, that’s fine. Just understand that if the Republicans take the Senate by a seat or 2 the Democrats will do everything they can to ‘flip’ a moderate Republican to retain control. Then you’ll have 4 more years of what you have now — a split congress with a marxist in the White House.
No visits with each other in prison either (I expect all kinds of things will be found out to give that result).
Third parties don't last, nor do they get bigger, but a major party can be REPLACED at the state level without much effort if everybody agrees.
