If conservatives aren’t even a majority in the Republican Party, how do you expect them to get anywhere with a third party.
A third party has zero chance at success. All it will do is throw the election to Hillary.
I agree with you that a third party would mean a Democrat(National Socialist) in the White House. But John McCain is not a good choice for president since he is basically a senator who knows how to effect comprimises with the dems. He believes in Global Warming. I would like to see more about returning to the Gold Standard as Ron Paul said Reagan would have liked. Without real borders and real money we are all in for huge difficulties irrelgardless of who gets in the White House. But Hillary and Obama are just elitist Socialists who don’t trust the American People to understand what the real problems are. McCain looks very similar to me.
“A third party has zero chance at success. All it will do is throw the election to Hillary.”
And the significant difference between Sen. McCain and Sen. Clinton would be....?

Politics are local. Much as we like to “Federalize” everything in politics, a great deal of what gets done is on a local or state level. From a Federal government perspective, a viable third party would eventually end up with some members of Congress and the Senate as well as providing an alternative choice for President. Eventually, a conservative political party might end up replacing the GOP in much the same way the GOP replaced the Whigs in the 1860’s.
Fewer and fewer people identify with either major party at this point; “independents” outnumber registrations for either major party in many areas. So the internal composition of the GOP is less important in determining what happens in the general elections anyway.
What a conservative political party would ultimately do is allow conservatives a voice and a place at the table. That’s something conservatives no longer have within the GOP.
