Much as I hate to say it, because I had been hoping the mainstream GOP would see that the conservativism was the only sane path, but... if Boehner is re-elected to Speaker I think we have to seriously consider a true 3rd party... the Tea Party.
Now is the time. 2016 is too late. You can bet 2016 will roll around and the GOPe won’t give Ted Cruz any support even though regular folks support him by a wide margin. You just know they will try to cram another Bush or other milquetoast as the candidate.
If Boehner is dethroned tomorrow, all of this is moot. But I’ll bet he won’t be dethroned. A third party should have started when McCain was rammed down our throat. Maybe before that when Bush called us un-American for opposing his amnesty.

We don’t need a third party. We need to attack the Boehner’s GOP support base. Now. Plenty of those careerist stooges are from solid red states. We can do better. They think they can vote for things like the obama-boehner amnesty and we will forget. We can’t let them run away from these votes.

After doing current research, there are approximately 52 third parties already, 7 that have fielded viable presidential candidates. Why don’t you pick one of the current third parties to join, rather than attempting to start up yet another third party. There aren’t enough of them already? None of them, just like you think of the Pub Party, please you either?
How long before your newly formed “Tea Party” would exist, will you begin to disagree with it over 1 or 2 matters and want to start yet another 3rd party because of unhappiness yet again with the “Tea Party” you created and belonged to?Maybe you will be happy with third party number 100, when it is formed.
Now, as to the subject of this thread, Boehner should retire and be replaced. I hope more House members join in voting against him for Speaker. We need a fresh start in that position and John Boehner has overstayed his welcome.

No more Bushes.
