With more and more conservatiuves realizing the GOP has failed them and willing to join a different party, the GOP will BE the third party and eventually become insignificant. You have to start sometime and place with somebody, and this is the time and place. The somebodies are already in place.
Let me direct your attention to the solid democrat state of New Jersey and its recent election for governor.
The third party conservative was showing 14% in the polls right up to election day, and the race was tied between the incumbent democrat Corrozine and his GOP challenger Christie.
I’m certain you know that Christie managed to win, because the third party conservative only received 7% or 8% instead of the 14% the polling showed.
Once people are in the voting booth, pragmatism has its way of trumping emotion.
You may think this is the time and place and that the somebodies are already in place, but I’ve heard that before. Whom, might I ask, are the somebodies?

No leaderless group of conservatives can win an election. It will be much easier to "take over" the GOP than to "take over" the entire country with a non-GOP party.
